Approx 1996 bay quarter horse mare
This isn't the first time for this girl. Laura and Mark W have been fostering Ada for a while now. Mark and Ada had a special relationship from day one and adoption was considered adopting her last fall. Things didn't work out at that time, but they continued to foster Ada for Bluebonnet. As many of you foster homes know, you kind of get use to them being around and not long ago, I was very happy to hear that Mark and Laura had decided to make Ada a permanent member of the family. YAY for Ada, Mark, Laura and family! Thanks for welcoming Ada into your hearts and giving her a loving place to call home.

2003, dark bay draft cross gelding
Aladdin came to BEHS along with several herdmates. He was so thin that
Denise worried he might not make it. But he began gaining weight and
thrived with good hair. The big horse appeared to be a draft cross - one
lacking much grace! But his big, clunky appearance didn't matter, his
foster mom fell in love with him. She sent Aladdin to training and plans to
turn him into her trail horse. Congrats to Aladdin and Kathy!

Aleeah arrived at BEHS less than a year ago, a starving, scrawny yearling
filly. Luckily quick intervention and good care helped Aleeah gain weight
and blossom into a gorgeous little filly with an awesome attitude. Her
foster mom's brother fell in love with Aleeah and decided to add him to his
family. Congrats to the Williamson Family and Aleeah!

Arthur was underweight, he gained weight and filled out with good care. His

children. Congrats to Elizabeth, Harlan, Samantha, Christopher and Arthur!

Boo Bear was with BEHS over a year when he found his adopter. He came from
an owner who could not care for him, and when he arrived he was underweight.
He gained weight and turned out to be a nice riding horse. Although he
didn't attend the June Adopt-a-thon in Alvarado, his adopter saw his photo
there, read his description and knew Boo Bear was the horse for him.
Congrats to the Clark Family and Boo Bear!

him. Congrats to Captain James and Jane!

2002 Quarter Horse mare
Charity came to the rescue from an awful neglect case over a year ago. Law
enforcement officers found her hung up in a tree and covered in open wounds.
They took her to a local veterinarian's office, but Charity was so
standoffish and scared, that she intimidated the veterinarians and their
staff. After moving into a BEHS foster home, Charity healed and learned to
trust humans. Her adopter met her and decided to give the little mare a
chance. She is working with a trainer, and she has plans to make Charity
into a great riding horse. Congrats Robin and Charity!

2004, Buckskin BLM mustang mare
Chelsea's previous owner adopted her from BLM, was moving overseas, and donated her to BEHS. Chelsea was a favorite with everyone who met her while she was with us. Her new mom had this to sat about her: "I have renamed Chelsea to Montana. She is a dream come true for me. I waited for her for 27 years and know that we will enjoy many more together." We at BEHS wish Montana and her new mom many happy trails.

2008 paint filly
Cherokee was born at her Bluebonnet foster home on April 27 this year.
Her mom was part of a neglect case and came to the rescue pregnant. Of
course we didn't know when exactly she was due, and Kenna and her family
watched over her closely wondering when she would share her foal with all of
us. Cherokee arrived and quicly stole the Graves' family heart. They've
adopted her and made her a permanent part of the family.

Cotton is an adorable white donkey who was in bad shape when he arrived at
BEHS. His owner did not provide for him, letting his hooves grow long and
painful. Cotton also hadn't been treated kindly in his life, and he didn't
trust humans. His foster mom worked to gain his trust, and she did a good
job. His adopter was looking for a donkey and decided to give Cotton a
chance. Congrats to Cotton and Jill!

1999, 12.2 hh, chestnut, Chincoteague Pony mare
Dottie is an adorable pony – from the legendary Chincoteague herd. Her previous owner bought her after the famous Chincoteague swim when she was only four months old. They brought her home, gentled her and trained her. However they had too many horses and felt Dottie didn’t get enough attention, so they donated her to BEHS. Dottie’s an adorable pony who is broke to ride and laid back. She was adopted by a family as a riding pony in 2006 but was unfortunately returned. Dottie's new foster family fell in love with her and they have adopted her to be a riding pony for their grandchildren.

General is an older gelding - but no one has told him he's nearly 30! He
was picked up from a negligent owner and was near death when he arrived at
the rescue. His foster mom helped him gain weight. Once he was healthy,
she discovered he was a nice riding horse. Although some people are leery
of adopting a horse in his late 20s, General's adopter decided to take a
chance on him and we're sure she won't be disappointed. Congrats to General
and Carol!

Adopted by new members Bob L and Magdalena S. Bob and Madga met Tori at the Texarkana event and were smitten. They applied to adopt her and while their inspection was being done, we worked hard to find them a suitable pasturemate for Tori. We don't like to adopt out only horses, and especially a youngster like Tori. I know Bob and Magda must have thought we would never find one, then they saw Hannah. Given Hannah's background with youngsters, it seemed to be a perfect match - all the way around. Bob and Magda picked the girls up this weekend. Hannah and Tori are bonding with each other and their new family. Thank you Bob and Magda!

2004 Welsh Mountain pony mare
Jewel arrived at the rescue in March 2006 along with eleven other Welsh
Mountain Ponies. Her former owner had purchased a stallion and two mares
and turned them out on pasture where he let them breed and then let the
offspring inbreed for several years. He did not handle any of the horses,
so they were living as wild horses. When the owner could no longer care for
them, Bluebonnet took them into the rescue and set about taming them. Jewel
came around slowly and began the search for her forever home. She met him
at the 2008 Bluebonnet Horse Expo and went home a few days later. Congrats
to Jewel and Chuck!

horses to keep Johnea company, and the two plan to do a lot of trail riding
together. Congrats Johnea and Leonard!

Patches did not like to be caught in the pasture, but once caught she was easy to handle. She would come for treats when the other ones did, but she was still shy. Janelle walked out in the pasture one day and returned with Patches without difficulty. Love was flowing and the match was made. It wasn’t long before Janelle said Rick were interested in Patches but the bond was really between Patches and Janelle. They were not going to wait for adoption days in June because they were afraid someone else would get her.

enforcement stepped in. The owners realized they could not provide for the
herd of horses and surrendered them to several rescues. Tuska's dam Nike
was a young mare who no one believed was pregnant - so imagine her foster
mom's surprise when she walked out one morning to find a newborn colt. She
fell in love with the little guy and decided she couldn't part with him.

2005 or 2006 Grey grade gelding
Whiskey came into BEHS in early June. Pearland Animal Control seized him and Jubilee in a neglect case. They asked us to take them to finish Jubilee's rehabilitation and find them forever homes. When they arrived, Whiskey was a bit standoffish and always went around with his ears back. He didn't like to be caught, either, and I wondered what I got myself into!
But after a few days, he learned that being caught meant he got dinner, and
he decided he liked being caught just fine! He also started hanging over
the fence and his stall panels to watch me and begin nickering for his
dinner. I learned that he was a laid back horse - nothing bothered him. I
could tie him, groom him, fly spray him, bath him and he stood for it. He
didn't mind being saddled or bridled, either. I did find his one bad habit - he is incredibly barn sour. So barn sour that he runs for the barn under saddle and I couldn't stop him. I feared that would make him unadoptable. BUT ... Whiskey fond his adopter today. :) I spoke to Adoree on the phone several times and met her at the Adopt-a-thon. She was so excited that I couldn't help but be excited, too. She met Whiskey today and she and her husband both looked him over and decided he would work well. She won his love - with an apple. :) He loaded well and they headed on their way. She's going to work with him under saddle, fix his bolting problem, and then they're going to be trail riding pals!
I'll miss Whiskey - he's a neat horse - but I am so glad to see him get just
what he deserves: someone to love him!
