BEHS 160 - Ada Monroe
Adopted January 9, 2010
1997, grade mare
Ada Monroe was removed from negligent owners by law enforcement officers and awarded to BEHS by the courts. When she arrived at her foster
home, she was nearly 200 pounds underweight and did not know what a carrot was. Despite her neglect Ada is a sweet natured horse that likes attention. She was adopted
twice and returned for bucking and be hard to ride. She finally met her perfect adopter in January of 2010.

BEHS 291 - Aramis
Adopted October 2010
Approx. 2003 Bay grade gelding
Aramis came to BEHS along with several other horses in a neglect case. He was a young stallion
who was gelded after arriving at BEHS, but he retained some of his stallion-like behaviors. This meant not a lot of people
were willing to take him on. He went to training and learned to walk, trot and canter under saddle – but he’s a hotter horse
and needed a rider who would enjoy that. He was adopted at the 2010 Bluebonnet Horse Expo to be his adopter’s first horse.
She had ridden horses for years for other people, but she now finally has her own. Congrats to Morgann and Aramis!

BEHS 442 - Arliss
Adopted August 1, 2010
2009 sorrel grade gelding
Along with his dam, baby Arliss came into Bluebonnet during December of 2009. He was only about four months old. Sadly, after giving him all she had,
we (and Arliss) lost his mom two days after she arrived. This little guy had a pretty rough start in life, but has been thriving, learing and growing in his foster home. This
weekend, things took yet another turn for the better! Leonard T., a previous adopter had decided it was time to add a youngster to his herd and thought Arliss might be a good fit.
They met him this weekend, fell in love with the cute little guy and adopted him. Arliss went to his new home today! Congrats to all!! We look forward to watching Arliss grow up
and having a wonderful, happy life! Thanks to Leonard T. for giving yet another needy horse a loving home and a second chance at having a good life.

BEHS 240- Banks
Adopted October 2010
Approx. 1994 Appaloosa gelding
Banks came to BEHS in 2008. When he was removed from his negligent owners, he was a stallion and had been allowed to get away with bullying behavior.
Since he was a large pony, this made him difficult to place: he needed a small rider who wouldn't put up with his bad behavior. In the fall of 2010,
he met a family who put him to work. They took him on trail rides and gave him a job - and he excelled at it! He found his perfect place.

were covered in severe wounds. The veterinarian who saw her believes they were rope burns. Thanks to the care of her foster
home, the wounds have healed. Bjorna’s adopters fostered her for nearly a year but during that time, Bjorna had found a place
in their heart. They adopted her during the 2010 Bluebonnet Horse Expo. Congrats to Bjorna and the Hartman family!

BEHS 454 - Calamity Jane
Adopted 2010
Donkey jenny
Calamity Jane (CJ) was picked up right before Christmas as part of a neglect case. Her back hooves were
so deformed, possibly from neglect, that they were curled under. Her companion, a donkey jack, had died before law enforcement arrived.
Fortunately for CJ, rescuers arrived in time to save her and give her a second chance at life as her Christmas present. She was
placed with BEHS where she gained weight and proved to be a smart and sweet little donkey. Her back hooves did not seem to slow her down - she ran and
bucked and kicked in pasture. She was adopted by a family who has adopted from BEHS previously and goes to join Lancer as part of the Barnhill family.

BEHS 383 - Gingersnap
Adopted March, 2010
2005, grade, stock-type mareAt 20 years of age, Gingersnap came to us last year as
a seasoned horse. She was found estray and after her owner could not be located, was awarded to Bluebonnet. Her foster mom quickly realized
that she was well broke to ride, was good with children and got along well in a herd. A great all around kind of horse, that everyone would
want to have. This weekend, at 21 years old, Gingersnap went home to her new family where she will be loved and used as a trail/pleasure riding/family
horse. Congrats to all!!
Gingersnap would like to thank:

Granite is one of the many horses who have come to us from neglect cases.
He hadn't been handled much before coming to BEHS and had a lot to learn.
He attended the Expo and attracted many people. His adopter met him there,
put in her application and was able to take him home a few weeks later.
She's going to get training for him and use him for trail rides.
Granite was adopted by Sandra Coley - her 40th birthday present!

BEHS 111 - Henry
Adopted 10/27/2010
1988 mammoth jack donkey
Henry came into BEHS in 2006 as part of a neglect case. He stands nearly
16 hh – and he’s the tallest donkey many people in the rescue have ever seen! He gained weight and then
his foster home began working with him under saddle. She got on him a few times and although he didn’t
know much he was quiet and willing. He was adopted in 2009 but returned because his size intimidated
his adopters. He moved into a new foster home who fell in love with him. She decided to make him a
permanent part of her life.
Henry would like to thank:

BEHS 395 - Jabon
2010
2008 Bay grade mare
Jabon came to BEHS in 2009 in very bad shape. She was part of a seizure of
17 horses, and her head was deformed. Her face looks "crooked" and her vet
feels she may have been kicked or stepped on as a foal. Her crooked face
gives her a cute look, but it means her teeth need regular attention to
insure she can eat her food. She was fostered for a year, and one day her
foster "mom" decided she hated the idea of letting Jabon go and adopted her.
Jabon would like to thank:

She was placed with BEHS by the courts. It appears that Jazz had some handling and training before coming to
BEHS as she carries a saddle well. However, she’s not used to a rider. Her adopters will be putting her in
training and using her for pleasure riding.

Adopted 2010
2004 miniature mare
Katelyn is a stunning, pinto miniature horse mare. The man who owned
Katelyn and her pasture-mates died. His family didn't know how to care for
them, and Katelyn and other new foals weren't handled or properly fed. When
she arrived at the rescue, Katelyn hadn't been halter trained and was very
underweight. Slowly, she gained weight and she learned about people. Her
adopters had not had horses before, but they fell in love with Katelyn and
decided to give her a home.

BEHS 397 - Lone Starlett
Adopted 2010
200p Sorrel grade mare
Lone Starlett was part of a large neglect case. She was removed in a joint effort between BEHS and law
enforcement and then placed with BEHS by the courts. She is a beautiful filly with a very feminine
look and correct conformation. Her calm, quiet disposition is a definite asset. She will come when
called in an open field and readily sticks her head in a halter. This filly is smart, and her
willingness to learn makes her easily trained. She leads, stands quietly when tied, and is very
flexible and sensitive to pressure. Lone Starlett competed in the 2010 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse
Training Challenge and won her category, youth handler, with her trainer, Kayden. Lone Starlett
caught her adopter’s eye at the Expo and during the challenge, and she was adopted that day.
Congrats to Lone Starlett and Beverly!

BEHS 497 - Stryder
Adopted 2010
2002 Roan grade gelding
Stryder is a big, pretty bay roan who is one of the most laid-back horses around.
He’s easy to ride western – whether in an arena or out in the open. He moves along steadily and nothing seems
to bother him. He came to BEHS from a neglect case, but it didn’t take him long to fill out. Stryder’s adopters
came to the 2010 Bluebonnet Horse Expo to see another horse. But when that horse didn’t work out, they took a
look at Stryder and he turned out to be just what they needed. Congrats to Stryder and the Bustamante family!

BEHS 476 - Sullivan
Adopted 2010
2003 Paint gelding
Sullivan came to BEHS as part of a seizure. He had been neglected for quite
some time, and he wasn’t sure people were his friends. He quickly gained weight once he got good food,
but it took longer for him to like people. His foster “mom” began training and riding him and used him
in the 2010 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. His adopter was at the Expo and saw him in the
Challenge. She fell in love and adopted him to become her trail riding horse. Congrats to Beverly and Sullivan!
Sullivan would like to thank:

BEHS 403 - Sundance Kid
Adopted July 24, 2010
2009 sorrel grade gelding
Look who met his new 'mom' this weekend... Sundance Kid, a young, one year old gelding had a visitor at his foster home on Saturday.
It was love at first sight! And how couldn't it be - with his nice Quarter Horse build, pretty sorrel color, flaxen mane and tail - and lovely disposition? In a
couple of years, he will make a great riding partner for his lucky adopter. As always, we all look forward to watching this nice young gelding blossom into everything
that he can be. Congrats and happy trails to Sundance Kid and Lauren T.!

Sweetheart arrived at BEHS on New Year’s Day, a victim of neglect. She was underweight when she arrived, and she had an old injury to one hind leg

Adopted February 18, 2010
2009, grade, stock-type filly
When Taffy arrived at BEHS last fall, she had never been handled and a wound over her nose with exposed bone.
After being tamed and taught to lead, she had surgery to remove pieces of dead bone and graft skin to cover the wound. She slowly recovered
and while doing so won the heart of her foster family. They decided... to make her a permanent addition to the family and adopted her. Congrats to Taffy & the Farley family!

BEHS 359 - Tasha
Adopted 2010
1998 bay Arabian mare
Tasha was part of a large neglect case. She was removed in a joint effort
between BEHS and three other agencies. She was placed with BEHS by the courts. It appears she wasn’t
handled much before coming to BEHS. While in a foster home, she injured her leg and was limited for
light riding. She was adopted by a family who hopes to train her for some pleasure riding.

BEHS 242 - Treasure
Adopted 2010
2002 Paint mare
Treasure is a huge, pretty paint mare who is blind in one eye. She
came to BEHS as part of a neglect case. She was leery of new humans and new situations at first,
and it was quite some time before we determined that she was a well-broke riding horse. She was
quiet under saddle and quite a nice-looking horse. She was adopted at the 2010 Bluebonnet Horse Expo.
Congrats to Treasure and the London Family!

Another happy horse! Willie came into the rescue with a severe leg wound. Once his leg healed and he had put
his weight back on, he was put up for adoption and immediately had several people in line for him! His new family took him home this weekend.

BEHS 394 - Windsong
Adopted 2010
2002 Sorrel grade mare
Windsong came to BEHS as part of a seizure in 2009. She hadn’t
been handled much before coming to BEHS, but when she arrived she was pregnant. She spent
the first several months with BEHS hanging out, gaining weight and preparing to become a
mother. She gave birth to a healthy foal, and once he was weaned she went to training.
She learned quickly and was steady under saddle by the time she attended the 2010 Bluebonnet
Horse Expo. She met her adopter there and went home with them to become a pleasure riding horse.
Congrats to Windsong and the Hagood family!

BEHS 18- Windy
Adopted May 2010
2002 Pinto pony mare
Windy was removed from negligent owners in a joint effort between BEHS and law enforcement officers. She was severely emaciated and dehydrated – when they
were picked up, the little herd had no water even though it was over 100 degrees outside. She quickly recovered, though, and became a cute, fat pony. She
was adopted in 2005 and returned due to her adopter’s health. She was quickly adopted again and will be trained to ride and drive.
Windy would like to thank:

He's had to adjust to his new role in life, but this weekend he met his adopter. She loves him, and we know they'll do great things together! Congrats Yancy and Eileen!

BEHS 364 - Zezz
Adopted June 20, 2010
1987 Grey Arabian gelding
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. He was adopted and now shares a home with another BEHS horse, River.
Zezz would like to thank:
