The Rescue Program

Velvet was one of our first rescues.  She was very thin and on her way to auction.  She came to live with us and was one of our most trusted and loved lesson ponies for many years.  The vets estimated her at nearly 50 years when she passed away.  She will always be loved and remembered and sorely missed.  We honor her memory with every new rescue. 

Many of our lesson horses were rescues.  Come to the ranch and see how horses who were said to be worthless or were headed for slaughter are now happy and productive.

Some of the horses that have been rescued by Pine Trails Ranch:

    Charm is an adorable pony who found her way to us with some serious hoof problems. Her pictures do her no justice - she really is one of the cutest ponies you will ever see. Despite her poor hoof condition and initial fearfulness, Charm has a very sweet personality and she seems to love all the people and horses she meets!

When Charm first arrived:

After several months and lots of work on her feet, Charm's hooves are almost completely back to normal! We have found her a home with her own child.
