CONGRATULATIONS to

Cal & TRUDI J. from Lehi, Utah

Cal chose to make "Slings An Arrow" (a.k.a. "Phoenix") the newest member of his family. I wouldn't have been able to let her go to very many people........she was my first Thoroughbred here at Phoenix Rising....and Oh! How I love this beautiful ten year old girl! Cal and his wife Trudi will send me frequent photos and updates.

  The "Test Drive"    

TWO-   4 MO. OLD REGISTERED QH FILLIES WERE ADOPTED BY JASON J. OF LEHI, UTAH.

IN THIS PICTURE, JASON JUST PUT "BUTTERS" FIRST HALTER ON HER. THESE GALS ARE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT HOME!

 '' BELLA''

THIS WAS MY PERSONAL HORSE.....AND THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PHOTOS OF HER!

SHE WAS LOOKING IN THE DOOR AT ME, AS I STOOD IN THE PORCH DOING LAUNDRY. BELLA IS 6 YRS. OLD,  AND WAS ADOPTED BY JASON AND COOKIE S. OF EMMET, NE.  SHE WAS THE LITMUS TEST OF WHETHER OR NOT I COULD BE A RESCUE...BECAUSE IF I COULD LET HER GO, I KNEW I WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TOUGH CHOICES A RESCUE MUST MAKE.

LUCKILY SHE'S NEARBY...SO I CAN GO SEE HER ONCE IN AWHILE! I LOVE THIS GIANT PAINT MARE.

 CONGRATULATIONS TO

RON & KIM H. OF PAPPILLION, NE! THIS COUPLE SEARCHED FOR MONTHS FOR JUST THE RIGHT HORSE...AND IT WAS INSTANT KARMA BETWEEN THEM AND BELLE, A REG. RED ROAN QH FILLY FOSTERED HERE AT PHOENIX RISING.

BELLE IS THE LUCKIEST HORSE IN THE WORLD.......SHE IS SO LOVED THAT IF IT STORMS, RON AND THE KIDS SLEEP IN A TENT IN THE BARN WITH HER SO SHE WON'T BE AFRAID! Belle is growing like a weed.......she's added around 2 hands just since this family adopted her!

Heres one of my favorite photos;  Belle relaxing with Ron in her barn -  note the tent in the background 

Good news! Ron and Kim are thinking about adding a second horse - possibly a companion only horse -  to their family! They are such wonderful people; I feel like they're family. I certainly appreciate the frequent updates and photos they send, too.

ADOPTED OUT FOR ME BY EPONA RESCUE; WILL UPDATE INFO WHEN I RECEIVE IT!

"THE BOYS OF SUMMER 07 "

YOUNG BROTHER STALLIONS AGES 4 1/2,  2 1/2 AND 3 1/2. 

SNIFFY AND THUMPER WERE ADOPTED TOGETHER BY A GREAT FAMILY IN SOUTH DAKOTA. I DONATED HAMMER TO JIM AND BRENDA M. OF EMMET, NE; (THE TRAINERS) AS THEIR OWN.

THIS IS WHAT EQUINE RESCUE IS ALL ABOUT HERE, FOLKS...THESE 2 BOYS WERE UNTOUCHED BY HUMAN HANDS UNTIL TANDRA AT LONE CEDAR RESCUE TOOK THEM IN; AND I BROUGHT THEM UP HERE TO PHOENIX RISING, GOT THEM TRAINED BY MY AWESOME TRAINERS; AND NOW THESE FORMERLY WILD, WILD CHILDREN ARE BELOVED MEMBERS OF REAL FAMILIES.
