Moses
Moses was found wandering the street of
Bakersfield where he was picked up by animal control. There
were many people who rallied for poor Moses to help find him a
safe place to go. With the support of several people he came
here to UAWR. We are not sure what he has been through or experienced
in his life other then obvious and severe neglect and
starvation. He has turned out to be the sweetest horse you
ever met and he LOVES kids!! The shelter vet and our vet both
agree that he is 30+ years old but to see him now there is so
much life left in him and he truly is enjoying working with
the kids and being ever so kind to them all....
Moses need a sponsor to help with his
Special Needs. He requires joint supplement, senior feed, and
a strictly pellets only diet.
Thank you Mary!! She
helped with a partial sponsorship for Moses March 2012

Cayman
Is a Thoroughbred who once was a race horse. He is now long
retired from the race track and is retired here at UAWR. He is
very sweet and we adopted him out 2 separate times where he
became very unruly and dangerous so we have made the decision
that it was best for him to stay here with us where he seems
to be happy.

Simon
11 year old Warmblood gelding. Simon has a bone
spur in his neck due to a possible previous jumping accident and
injury. He is a pasture pet only and can NOT be ridden at all.
Simon is here at UAWR in Sanctuary to live out the rest of his
years.

| Nikki
13 year old Mustang Mare. Niki has been with UAWR for many
years as she is a "difficult" to adopt horse and has
confidence issues. She is available for adoption but would be very
difficult to find the "right" home for her with someone
who can handle her without getting hurt. Until that time she is a
resident of UAWR.

High
Side
High Side is a 11 year old Thoroughbred gelding who raced 44
times with his last race at Los Alamitos in 2007. He has stifle
issues and will remain with UAWR for the remainder of his life due
to the needed consistent rehab, and Chiropractic care that is
needed in order to maintain his stifle.

| Dakota
Dakota is an 18 year old BLM Mustang gelding that was rounded
up by the BLM at the age of 12 years and then gelded and sold
outright with no contract or protection as to where he would end
up . He was found less then a year after hie sale at a Feedlot in
Nevada and was only hours away from being put on the truck headed
to slaughter. Dakota was saved thankfully to Shirley who helped
raise the funds to get his bail paid to have him pulled off the
feedlot and transported down here to UAWR. Dakota has been here
since. Initially we were able to gentle him enough to remove a
halter that had grown into his face and work with him a small
amount. Due to a car accident our president who had been the one
to work with him and bond with him was not able to work with him
for over a year and recently he was sent to a professional trainer
where Dakota decided he did not want any part of their ideas of
domestication and tried to hurt anyone who attempted to work with
him by biting at them and kicking at them. Dakota has
returned here to UAWR in hope to find a sanctuary to provide a
forever home for him, but in the meantime he has been given a
large turnout type area which we are working to make even larger
and attempt to provide the best "wild" type setting for
him as possible. We would like to provide the best and largest
setting for Dakota as possible to live his remaining days out here
with us as close to "wild" as we can.

Dakota needs a sponsor for fencing to
create an even larger turn out area for him as well a sponsors to
provide for his feed and care.

Merlin
19 year old Arabian Stallion. Merlin is not broke to ride and
due to his age and other health issues we have been hesitant to
have him gelded. He has remained here at UAWR at this time until
we can make a decision on having him gelded and the safety of such
surgery due to health reason. When and If he ever is gelded he will be available for
adoption as a pasture pet only. He gets along with other gelding
very well and would make a great companion. |
| Victor
Victor is approx 22 year old Arabian Gelding. He originally
found himself homeless when his owner passed away and the family
property was being sold and Victor has no where to live. Victor
then moved on to become a wonderful kids riding horse and was
doing gymkanna and wons TONS of ribbons and prizes, and even won
CGA State High Point Championship Saddle. (see pic) Now in 2012
Victor can no longer keep up with the rigorous duties of being a gymkhana
horse and cantering has become an issue for him he is now here
with us at UAWR and he will be used for the children at Footprints
Therapeutic Riding Center to ride at a walk and some trotting
only at this time and he will remain here with us until the end of
his days.
Victor needs a sponsor to help with his special needs. He
requires joint supplements, senior feed, and a strictly pellets
only diet.
Thank you to all those who have helped
donate towards Victor's Care:
The Derloshon Family
The Chiate Family
The Pierce Family
The Almon Family
The Arnold Family
He is completely sponsored for April,
May, & June of 2012 but is still in need of a sponsor for
July-Dec 2012
