Hi, I am looking for the best homes for my family pets, getting money is not the problem, finding good lifetime loving homes is! I am giving away my beloved pets to the best homes I can find for them, and instead of selling them to the adopters, I am asking that a donation (your choice of dollar amount) be made to CMHR.
I live in Central Illinois, and all animals are up to date on all shots.All have good manners and lead, stand tied, and have had regular farrier care. Further training details, etc listed for each animal. Paying for Coggins and transport will be up to you should you decide to adopt. We have had reduced financial circumstances the past couple of years and adult children have just moved back home, so changing family status forces me to this option. I will ask for references and check them before adopting them out to you! CMHR must recieve a donation before the animal leaves the farm! Thats it... hope there are loving homes out there for my best friends. I can't stand the thought of running them through a sale. Thanks for your attention. You can reach me at 309-724-8500 from 7AM to 4 PM central time, or email me at [email protected] thanks.
1. Copelands Delightful Rosie. Blue roan silver dapple mare with chestnut recessive gene. Seems to have a hidden Sabino gene since all her babies have had white markings, even when bred to solid color stallions. She is 11 years old and has slight COPD which at this time does not require medication, but does need to be managed to prevent too much exposure to dusty conditions. AMHR registered, AMHA papers have lapsed. She is right at the height limit. Dominant mare personality, doesn't enjoy kids. I bought her because she is beautiful ! She
has given me untold hours of pleasure just being there in the pasture where I can look at her!
2. Spot AMHR/ ASPR registrable weanling colt(2005) out of above mare and 100 percent Arenosa stallion. LOUD red roan with blue eyes and tobiano spotting over about 50 percent of his body. Sabino gene for sure as well. will mature under 34 inches.
3. Pepper. Can you communicate with HOT ponies? Pepper is loving and anxious to please, but too hot to make a kids horse... a bit of a worrier. he is 8 this year, purebred registered shetland, dapple grey (true grey not silver dapple) has a lovely extended floating trot which looks just like a currier and ives print. Driven dressage would suit him well, and he would make a super driving pony for a lady who understands fiery personalities. (not trained) 44 inches
4. Patrick. Yearling grade palomino, looks like a welsh cob, will mature around 48-50 inches tall. 4 white stockings and blaze, one blue eye and one brown. He has the neatest little moustache of black skin between the pink nose and the pink lower lip... I shoulda named him Pierre. Gentle and inquisitive, typical curious colt personality... would be easy to trick train. Pat loves to play with things: he has a "pet vollyball" which is only partially inflated. He picks it up and carries it around like a dog. will make a nice kids pony with time and training.
5. Spook. I named him that because he is marked just like the horse Rick O'shay used to ride in the comic strip years ago (you have to be my age or older to remember this one!) He is a 15.2 Arabian gelding which I raised from a weanling,
well trained and responsive to voice, rein and leg. I can ride him with just a strap around his neck. I sold him to a loving home 7 years ago and the lady who bought him could not keep him due to hard times, so he has come back to me. Spook loves to go english and loves trails, has a BIG trot and did training level dressage when I had him years ago. he has also had experience with cavaletti and poles, and loves to jump ditches and logs on the trail. He has not been used much lately so will need some conditioning, but I got up on him and he definitely remembers all his training...he is 17 now and still has years of service and companionship to offer someone...he would make a great second horse for someone looking for something with a little ZIP!
