Project Horses

Project horses have not been started under saddle, have not been ridden in years and need a tune-up, or have had a traumatic past that can cause them to be unpredictable and overreactive. Potential adopters need to possess a high level of equestrian skill and problem solving ability. Further training will be required for these horses to reach their full potential.

Alma is the definition of a looker. She is out of Aur Destination (sire) and December Love Aur (Dam). This sweet mare loves attention and will do just about anything for a cookie. She leans toward the skeptical side, but time and patience go a long way with her. At 17, she does have saddle experience, but it was a long time ago and our evaluators are currently exploring how far her knowledge goes. She is looking for someone with time and patience who will gently guide her in the right direction.

Cricket was foaled on Hope property in 2017 and adopted at six months of age. Sadly she returned to Hope when her adopter could no longer care for her.
