Approx 2000 brown donkey jenney
This is another one that had a pending adoption that didn't go through. Pearl and Abby had been together since they were seized back in 2005.
Pearl is an older donkey and the two seemed to depend on one another. The other applicant wanted both, then decided on just Abby. Upon going to meet Abby, they fell in love
and instantly bonded with Pearl instead and took her home, leaving Abby. This opened the door for the person next in line and that was Michelle F. Abby was taken
to her new home not too long ago! Thanks and congratulations to all!

2003, grade gelding
Aramis had been with Bluebonnet for just over a year when Allison H-C came across him, while looking online
for horses available for adoption. He is listed as grade, but very much an Arab/Arab type - energetic, green and a nice little guy. As it
turned approval came right before the Expo. Allison had a trip planned down that way and brought her trailer with her when she came to meet
Aramis in Austin. Aramis came to us untrained, but had gone to a trainer and was started under saddle. His foster mom Kathy, was quite
attached to him and knew he needed a special person to finish his training and handle him well. They met at the Expo, Kathy rode him and
then Allison. It wasn't anytime and we could see that Aramis had found his adopter! I am not sure what they might do down the road, but
I will not be surprised to see endurance or showing of some sort in Aramis' future. But wait there is more...(see Tanner)

1998 Arabian mare
Tammy K had applied to adopt with Bluebonnet back in the very early summer of this year - about two
weeks after Ariel came into our care. Ariel came from a large seizure in May. She is a very pretty, flashy Arab mare. She has
a nice disposition and seemed to have been handled in her life. She was another that went to a trainer to get her started and she
came along nicely. Being already approved, Tammy came to the Expo, met Ariel and decided to adopt her. Tammy's first choice ended
not being the right one, but she hung in there with us and found the horse she had been looking for in Ariel. We wrote the contract
out right there. Ariel was formally adopted, had a new mom and home waiting for her.

Approx. 1989, stock-type mare
Beauty was signed over to BEHS in March of 2009. She came to us pretty thin,
but rehabbed nicely. At twenty years old, most horses have 'been there and done that'. Beauty is no exception,
she does not mind anything - dogs, cats, tractors, sawing, etc. - only the cows in the pasture next door,
though she did allow one calf to share a bucket of feed with her. She won a ribbon at the Expo this year
(pictured) and has been patiently waiting for her right person to come along. This weekend, Theresa Y.,
a member of Bluebonnet went to meet Beauty. Theresa decided she was the one, adopted and took her home today.
Congratulations, beautiful Beauty! Happy trails to you and your new family!!

Comanche came to BEHS as a donation from a couple that could no longer keep him. His pasture mate from several years had died and he was lonely,
so they thought of BEHS. As soon as he stepped onto the property of his foster home, he was named Comanche. After just a couple of days, the foster home knew they wanted to adopt Comanche. Although
Even if riding never happens for the two of them, Comanche has a home forever at Favoring Winds Ranch along with the two other BEHS horses that were adopted by them, Dottie and Chloe. The Pinnell family feels so blessed to
have three such wonderful beautiful horses and thanks the donors and BEHS for putting them and Comanche together.

1996 Quarab mare
Dixie has been with BEHS over 3 years. I have been her only foster home, and she is very special to me. I have taken her to
each and every adoption event (Austin, Ft. Worth, Texarkana, and back again) and Expo since she came to live with me, just knowing that someone to love her
and appreciate her was out there, somewhere. She loves attention and needed her very own family. Imagine my surprise to find that she was being adopted by a couple who lived
only 20 miles away from me! And, it turned out that I've known them for years too! Henry will be Dixie's companion and share in the love and affection of these
oh-so-nice people. Henry is the mammoth donkey that turns heads everywhere he goes, and demands love from everyone he meets. He has lived with me
almost a year, and has been in the rescue for 3, I believe. Three cheers for a happy ending for these 2 great equines and the great people who now have them!

2006 Sorrel grade mare
Dream Girl was one of the rescue’s first horses. Her dam became pregnant while at a trainer’s barn
and by the time her owners found out, it was too late to abort the foal. They moved her to a new facility and told the trainer
to “just kill it” when the foal was born. The trainer hated the idea of ending an innocent life and sought someone to raise the
foal. A Bluebonnet member offered to foster her, and a few days after she was born, Dream Girl became a part of the Bluebonnet
Family. She struggled to learn to drink from a bottle or bucket and was a sickly foal. She recovered and grew into a beautiful
young horse. She found her forever home where she’ll be a spoiled pet and riding horse.

1998 Welsh Mountain pony mare
I used to get frustrated when I read a book and the ending left me hanging. No happy ending, no end to the mystery,
problems left unsolved. Horses have helped me to realize that sometimes there is no perfect, storybook ending to our lives. If you work with rescue
horses long enough, some day you will have one enter your life with the apparent purpose of simply keeping you humble. You may think you are pretty
good at working with horses, and then WHAM! That horse makes you feel like you know nothing. Duchess is such a horse. This little pony entered my
life in March, 2005. I have written ad nauseum about the futile attempts to halter her, gentle her, even one long and very exhausting attempt to get
her to give to pressure, this past summer. Her capacity to give to humans is very limited. After three years and six months, I am able to pet her face
when she eats out of a bucket I am holding - essentially where we started, a couple days after she arrived. She has spent the time in my place in a
carefully structured environment, for her safety. Her little pasture opened into the enclosed barn yard, which led to the barn. She could be herded
from stall to barn yard to pasture and back again, and was very familiar and comfortable in her little "world". During her stay, she gave birth to an
adorable little filly, Sassy. I worked hard with Sassy, to prevent Duchess teaching her that humans were to be feared, and she was weaned and removed
from Duchess pretty quickly, to prevent that very thing from happening. I had accepted that Duchess would probably always remain with me, and made jokes
about us growing old together. Then a special person entered Duchess' life. Heather wanted a companion for her adopted Cisco. She traveled from Smithville
to Navasota to see Duchess, and I showed her what Duchess was able to do with me. Heather E. has endless patience and the willingness to accept Duchess
for whatever Duchess was able to offer her. Yesterday we both loaded Duchess in my trailer. We parked the trailer at the end of the barn aisle, tied
the gates and doors so that Duchess couldn't push past them, and slowly herded her into the trailer. I cried a good part of the drive there and much of
the drive home. I worried that Duchess would be scared and somehow get hurt, or worse, get loose and be lost forever. I worried that she and Cisco wouldn't get along.
But most of all, I cried once again for the little pony who has missed so much by fearing so much in her life. She will always remain a mystery to me - why she
is so fearful, what could I have done differently to help her overcome that fear - and I know there will never be answers to my questions. Just like life, Duchess
is what she is, and we have to accept that, and work with what she can and does offer to us. May Heather and Duchess continue their journey and grow together.

1997 Arabian gelding
Judge came to BEHS in May 2009 along with fifty-six other horses as part of a neglect case. Judge and the other stallions were
all kept in stalls, and many of the stalls were several feet deep with compacted manure. They had little access to water and almost no food. When rescuers
went to let them out of stalls, many of the latches on the stall doors were rusted shut. Judge recovered, was gelded and began the long rode to rehabilitation.
His foster mom quickly determined that he knew how to stand tied, be bathed, and have his feet handled. He let her saddle him but did not seem to have been
broke to ride. His foster “mom” says he’s an insecure horse, he needs a lot of praise and reassurance that he’s doing the right thing. However he’s smart and
tries hard to figure out what you ask of him. Judge’s adopter met him at the 2009 Bluebonnet Horse Expo and fell in love. She says he reminds her of a beloved
horse she lost earlier this year, and she’s excited to open her home and heart to him. Congrats to Judge and Angela!

At the 2007 Expo, Jim and Ann came to pick Kaluha up to adopt. Kaluha had other things on his plate that day and decided not
to load for his foster home, so he didn't make it to the Expo at all. Thanks to Jim and Ann's patience and more planning, Kaluha made it to Paradise, Tx.,
where they live. They had decided to foster him though, thinking they couldn't give him the training he needed, due to his very strong
flight response and other issues he had. Again, with patience (I'm seeing a theme here - patience:-)) and time, they brought him around
and have taken him to several BEHS events hoping to find just the right person for him. Everywhere they go they have talked about this
special horse and his needs - trying to find help for him. I think they finally realized that -they- were the help that he needed.
Someone to understand him, and have (again) patience. Also, they found a couple of qualified folks to work with him. With so many
working him though his fear and so forth, they also realized that he could never leave their place. I received the request that I always
knew would come - to send them an adoption contract. I was so happy for Jim and Ann, but mostly Kaluha as I knew he was right where he
needed to be - in Paradise! Thank you Jim and Ann, for adopting 'K'. He deserves to have such caring, loving humans to be his forever!

Sitka and Kenai came into BEHS in October of 2008. After they arrived, they were both found to be in foal. Before
long, Sitka gave birth to Loki and Kenai had Teddy. There were a couple of problems along the way. One of the babies needed help
getting started and it was touch and go for a bit. Then, sadly Kenai crossed the Rainbow Bridge before Teddy was weaned and once again,
foster parents Brandon and Nicole L. helped one of the babies make it through. During all of this, they became very attached to Sitka,
Teddy, Loki and Kenai. I got word they wanted to adopt and sent the contracts over. Sitka, Teddy and Loki have been adopted as of

Lucky was found estray. When he arrived, he was a stallion and had not been handled much.
An eye infection left him blind in one eye and a bit spooky. Although gelded, Lucky continued to act study and could not

Maverick came into BEHS almost a year ago as a somewhat untrained, approximately 12 year old stallion.
He had (and still has), the most calm, nice disposition about him. We knew he was a good candidate to send for training to get him started
under saddle - where he did well. After training, Maverick went to a new foster home. That is where Kellie G. met and really liked him.
She thought he was going to be adopted, but later saw that he was still available on our site. Remembering that there was something special
about this guy, she contacted us and quickly applied to adopt him. As soon as she that she was approved, she made arrangements to pick this
special fellow up and take him to his new home.

so she browsed the site and asked about RJ. After getting a little info about his (appeared to be) club foot from foster mom, Gaye P., Michele
knew she wanted him. I was told he was not always the easiest to catch and hoped he would be a good boy for Michele when she went to meet him.
Luckily, Michele has worked with youngsters before and had no problem with RJ. She handled him like a pro and it was a good match from the get go!
RJ went to his new home on Sunday. Look forward to watching him mature into a nice, pleasure/trail horse for his adoptive home.

Due to time constraints of his adopter he was returned. They delivered him to the 2009 Bluebonent Horse Expo, where his abilities and beauty were seen by all. Govinda H. had already applied to adopt and was there, met him and immediately bonded with River. She and her daughter had waited a very long time to take on the responsiblity of horse ownership and to find the right horse. Looks like a perfect match! River left for his new life yesterday afternoon. His adoptive mom says it will be hard to keep his young adoptive 'sister' from sleeping in the barn with him at night!

Sam I Am came into the rescue in March of 2009, along with another horse, Beauty. Both were malnourished, but not unloved. Both horses were very handleable and loving.
Sam I Am has always been such a love, a 'pocket horse' in that he would be your shadow whenever you were in his pen - much preferring people over the companionship of other horses.
Sam I Am was visited by a very beautiful little 2-yr old girl named Faith (and her mother Anita, and brother Hunter) last Saturday. Faith was looking for a sweet, loving horse
to call her own. A horse that would be her best friend while she grew up. Sam I Am saw little Faith, loved all over her, and even gave her his first human ride ever!
Both 2-yr olds bonded immediately, and the decision was made!
My sweet Sam I Am has been adopted by a wonderful family, and will be moving to his new home this coming weekend!

Savannah is a very cute young filly that loves people, attention, grooming, etc. and has a very willing attitude and sweet
nature. Dennis and Carol D. had been looking for a companion for a young gelding they had (that happens to look a lot like Savannah).
They came across BEHS, found Savannah on our site, read her bio and were sure she would be the perfect pasturemate for their gelding.
They were very careful to choose a horse with a nice, calm temperament to match the gelding they already had, so that things would be
peaceful - and because they have granchildren they want to teach about the love of horses. Savannah was the perfect one for them. She was
adopted and left for her forever home just yesterday. Pictures to follow...

Tanner came into the rescue on October 10th of 2008 - and was adopted from the Expo, along with Aramis!
Tanner is a very nice, calm, quiet young gelding that was sent to training by his foster mom, for 60 days. She knew and saw in him
that he would be willing student and take well to his lessons. Tanner completed training and did very well. He was started under saddle
and more appealing to potential adopters. Allison H-C (see Aramis above) had expressed an interest in Tanner too, before coming to the Expo.
Allison was able to meet and visit with Tanner's foster mom and then test rode him too. She decided that she wanted to adopt him as well.
Tanner's laid back personality might counter Aramis' more flighty side, she thought. While she ended up staying longer than she intended
that day and was freezing by the time it was all said and done, Allison took home two beautiful young geldings with her on October 10, 2009.
Exactly one year from the day Tanner came to us - on his one year anniversary - he found his new home! Tanner and Aramis bonded during
the trailer ride home and have been best buddies since! We are sure that they will be riding trails together for many years to come!

Zezz came to BEHS in May 2009 along with fifty-six other horses as part of a neglect case. Zezz and the other stallions
were all kept in stalls, and many of the stalls were several feet deep with compacted manure. They had little access to water and almost no food.
When rescuers went to let them out of stalls, many of the latches on the stall doors were rusted shut. Zezz recovered, was gelded and began the long road
to rehabilitation. He has a lip tattoo and from that we were able to determine that he had been raced twice as a young horse, coming in 1st and 3rd.
After that, we’re not sure what training he had but his foster home found he was well-trained to ride and seemed to enjoy being ridden. His foster
“mom” says he’s the happiest horse she’s ever known, always waiting at the gate for her with his ears up and a happy look on his face. Zezz’s adopters
met him at the 2009 Bluebonnet Horse Expo and fell in love. They plan to use him for trail riding. Congrats to Zezz and the Haden family!

the horses to family members who refused to care for them or part with them until they were investigated for neglect.
Zoey was born after her owner passed away, and she had never been handled before arriving at BEHS. Frannie was so thin
when she arrived that BEHS did not believe she would make it. Fortunately both mom and baby not only survived but thrived.
Their foster home decided to adopt them and are training Frannie to drive.
