In mid July several young horses were rescued from neglect and abuse in eastern Ohio. Seven of these horses were lucky enough to find temporary homes at Hoof Beats. After a long eight hour trailer ride to Evansville the new horses were introduced to their new home where food, water, and medical care were immediately provided for them. Their progress has been monitered and now they are all looking for new loving homes.
We are only asking the price that would cover what we have already paid in medical, food and time for them and nothing more.
Reverse is a 2 year old colt who arrived with a severe case of mange. His neck, legs, and the base of his tail were all badly eaten away. He had large cuts on his back legs from barbed wire. He was under weight and nervous around people. After one month, Reverse's mange cleared up and is almost fully healed. His cuts have healed and he's put on about 50 pounds. He's a very sweet boy, but sometimes still gets a little nervous.

Mo is almost two years old. He came with bad cuts on his legs from barbed wire. He was nervous around people and didn't like being touched. When he arrived it was obvious that he was severely malnourished. He became fatigued and weak. After several weeks of being closely watched Mo began gaining weight and is doing much better.
He has been saddled and ridden several times and is continuing to improve!
