I was rescued from starvation on Feb. 11, 2010, by owner surrender to Fresh Start. Yesterday, Oct. 8, 2011, I came home with my new forever mom, Chris! I’m the gentle, experienced trail horse you want to ride lightly on weekends…I can lead, follow, or we can go off by ourselves, wherever you may guide [...]

Rescued May 26, 2010 – Now we’ve been adopted! I, Luna, was at the livestock auction, being bid upon by dealers who would send me to be horribly slaughtered in Mexico. I don’t know what would have happened to my foal. But Fresh Start Horse Rescue got me instead, helped with the bidding by a [...]

I started out as “Lil’ Red,” a Quarter Horse gelding. I was surrendered to Fresh Start in 2010 as a yearling, because my humans were moving. I was adopted, and lived happily for a while, until sorrowful circumstances forced me to return to Fresh Start. I am being fostered again as a two-year-old…my foster family, [...]

SPECIAL NEEDS HORSE: Mooch…Adopted! Hi, I’m Mooch. I needed a very special person to take care of me and awaken the courageous spirit inside me, that was beaten into hiding years ago. My long-ago owner neglected and abused me by hitting me in the head with 2x4s. I was afraid of everything when I came to [...]

I’m Wizard, an American Mustang from Utah’s Sulphur Herd. Fresh Start’s founders purchased me from a kill buyer in August, 2005. I was starved, terrified, untouchable, worm-infested and very sick. I had a recently-healed bulled hole through my neck. The above picture, taken at the Four States Ag Expo in 2010, shows me a changed horse after [...]

Adopted! I am Winnie Winchester. I was abused and starved nearly to death. The only thing that kept me alive was the instinct to protect my foal, Sam, from those awful humans and other dangers. I hardly remember the day the trailer that was going to take me to slaughter took me to Fresh Start [...]

*Adopted!* I’m Avalon, a 2001 American Mustang mare from California. I was rescued in 2005 by the Ryan family, who outbid the kill buyers at the auction. I was underweight, frightened, and had just had my foal taken from me. It took two years to regain my health and gentle back down. I am a [...]

I am Pinky, once also known as Tinkerbelle. I was orphaned as a young foal during a roundup south of Mesa Verde, and a caring Ute family bottle-fed me. I came to Fresh Start in 2005, as a two-year-old. I am a great companion and a fun trail horse, although I do not think of [...]

ADOPTED! I am Lady Black, a dark grulla mare. The Ryans saved me in 2005 by outbidding the dealers at the sale barn. I was a wild, unapproachable, even dangerous two-year-old. After lots of time and patience, I became halter broke and taught to lead, load, farrier. Jason Patrick started my saddle breaking at the [...]
