Madison
Adopt Me! or Sponsor Me!

(Adoption fee: $250)

Age 15, Quarterhorse mare

Madison came from a breeder who no longer needed her services as a broodmare. She is one of the sweetest, calmest mares we've had the pleasure to meet. Madison will make a super pasture friend for a forever family. Because she broke her left hind leg as a youngster, she is not rideable but she’s tremendously gentle and sweet. Her rehabilitation included nutrition appropriate for her – grass hay and lots of nutrients, herbs to help her clear accumulated toxins and chiropractic and farriery for her crippled leg. Like all our mares she will require PZP injections to prevent pregnancies.

Happy Adopt Me!

(Adoption fee: $500)

Age 5, Quarterhorse cross

Happy is a smart and well-started Quarterhorse cross mare. She spent 2-1/2 months with professional trainer Jess Holloway of Bozeman and did especially well on trails and outside the arena. She is ready for an experienced rider and lots of love. Happy joined the Sanctuary in 2008 and was spayed later that year. A wire cut injury of her right pastern will limit her ability to do sports that require lots of fast, tight turns or work in deep arena footing. But she does well on natural footing and has a great work ethic.

Georgia
Adopt Me! or Sponsor Me!

(Adoption fee: $250)

Age 29

Georgia is really an old-fashioned kind of gal. She's calm, respectful and gentle. She's quiet around kids and adults but is willing to stand her ground with other horses. She is a wise soul who want to enjoy the rest of her retirement in a forever home.

Roxanne
Sponsor Me!

Weanling

Roxanne is a little bundle of love. She came to the Sanctuary from a neglect situation, much underweight and weaned too early by a mare who was also underweight and struggling. When she arrived in late 2009 she was skeptical that humans might ever be her friends. Because of the time and love given her by volunteers and staff, as well as a well-prescribed homeopathic remedy, Roxanne is becoming friendly, gaining weight and growing like a weed. She's still in rehabilitation and will be for some time to come. We are sure that someday she will make someone a great horse in a forever home.

The Sanctuary helps place not only those horses from the Sanctuary herd but also horses who don’t come through the Sanctuary. In the past five years we have facilitated the placement of more than 100 horses. We recently picked up an Arab gelding in eastern Montana and brought him to his new home near Helena. Last year he suffered the heartbeaking loss of his lifetime companion, an Arab mare. A mustang mare near Helena recently lost her lifetime companion to colic — another broken heart. The two bonded quickly and are now becoming great friends.
