OUR ANIMALS

MEET OUR HORSES

EDDIE

A chestnut gelding, who is not yet under saddle.

“Eddie” is handsome, powerful, fast, and smart. Initially wary, but proven to form strong bonds with select individuals, he was our first rescue and will always have a place with us. Requiring a highly skilled rider, Eddie is a “one rider” horse and is not suitable for use in a camp / group program. When people visit the farm and see him, the response is always, “Wow!”.

CHARLIE

A chestnut gelding, Charlie was formerly owned by the farm’s previous farrier and barn manager, Katrina Murphy.

Charlie serves as a companion to Eddie. We believe he was previously used as a camp horse. He is very affectionate, and may be well-suited to ground work.

MAMA

A gentle, older Arabian Mare.

Acquired by court order following a multi-equine seizure by the State of Maine Animal Welfare Program, “Mama” is a gentle, older Arabian mare. Now pair-bonded with Abe, Mama originally arrived with her son, “Cyrus”. Due to complications arising from poor care by the prior owner, Cyrus was later euthanized. Blind in one eye as a result of previous abuse, Mama will always trade a kiss for a treat and has won our hearts.

ABE

A 20 year American Saddlebred paint gelding.

“Abe” (Abenaki’s Dreamcatcher) is a 20 year old American Saddlebred paint gelding. At 16 hands, he is a big boy. Acquired via a mandatory surrender directed by the State of Maine’s Animal Welfare Division, Abe was severely malnourished at intake. Sweet and naturally inquisitive, Abe has gained several hundred pounds since arrival. With his health restored, Abe will benefit from ground work to determine his level of previous training, a prerequisite for future placement should this be appropriate.
