Horse Sponsorship

Nina is a lovely and shy Thoroughbred mare in her late teens. She lives happily in a large paddock with her best friend Harmony after they were both rescued in 2018 from a breeding farm that suddenly closed down and did an online auction to relieve themselves of all the horses. Nina enjoys eating Mrs. Pastures Cookie for horses and snoozing under her paddock’s shade trees.N

This lovely lady is Nikki, a Paint mare who came to Castleton in November 2021 after a good Samaritan rescued her from a most horrible situation. Nikki’s story has been well documented on our Facebook page. Nikki made such a wonderful recovery from her life-threatening injuries and now lives happily and safe with all her new friends here at Castleton.

Harmony is a lovely and kind Thoroughbred mare in her late teens. She lives happily with her best friend Nina after they were both rescued in 2018 from a breeding farm that suddenly closed down and did an online auction to relieve themselves of all the horses. Harmony enjoys eating carrots and snoozing under her paddock’s shade trees.

Aria is a Thoroughbred Mare in her early twenties and one of the six pregnant mares rescued in the fall of 2018. Aria lives at the ranch with her son William who was born at the ranch in April 2019.  Aria is super sweet and loves attention. She lives happily in a large paddock with her friend Mary.

Aria has various old injuries that she obtained from her racing career many years ago that have begun to give arthritis problems, but she gets about well with the help of her daily supplements.

Meet Blue and Dusty who arrived in April 2021 from another rescue that could no longer afford to care for them.

Blue is a 10 year old half mustang half Quarter Horse gelding who was rescued from a very abusive man who thought it was a great idea to just whip him to get him to do what he wanted. He also carved a brand into Blue with a knife! Eventually this person abandoned Blue, because he was difficult to ride and always tried to buck him off. After examination by the vet it seems Blue has pinched nerves and a damaged  vertebrae and should never have been ridden.

Dusty is a stunning and charming 11 year old Quarter horse. Dusty has suspensory tendon disorder in his back legs making his fetlocks slope down to the ground. He is in no pain or discomfort this early in life, but the vet said no riding, to preserve his comfort and allow him to live as full a life as possible. The condition will some day cause full lameness but with proper care he can easily live happily into his 20’s

This is Jake, a Paint gelding in his mid 20’s who was rescued in 2015 from a local auction. Jake has had a very hard earlier life where he was made to “dance” and has suffered physical and emotional abuse at the hands of previous owners, including leg and joint fractures that are now arthritic.

Today, Jake lives happily in a paddock with his friends where they can all live out their golden years together in peace and harmony.

This is Karina. She is in her mid twenties. Karina was rescued from an auction in 2015. She is a very nice little horse with a wonderful disposition. She is always glad to spend time with you especially when getting groomed. We hope that Karina can find a sponsor.

This is Spirit. She was rescued in early 2018 from an Auction. Spirit is in her late twenties.  She is such a sweet horse and spends all of her time close to her friend that was rescued from the same auction, Lucy. We hope that we can find a sponsor for Spirit.

This is Dakota who lives in a paddock with his best friend Lenny. Dakota is in his mid teens and was rescued from an auction in 2016. He is very sweet and friendly and loves to play with his jolly ball. Lets hope that we can find him a sponsor.
