MIKEY
I'm looking at you with my good eye.  Years ago a 'not so nice horse buddy' kicked me and I lost vision in my right eye.  But that was then and this is now... I have learned to compensate beautifully.  I had a loving family who took really good care of me.  I miss them, but I had to move on.  I'm a 22 year old Quarter horse gelding with a lot of good years left.  I understand reining and just love it!  I'm a big guy, with (if you don't mind my bragging) a great physique.  I may be considered handicapped, but who isn't?  I've learned to adjust to mine, have you?  Maybe you can relate and I will find my new home soon.

DOTTIE
A new rescue, Dottie needs to recuperate from pneumonia and put on more weight before she will be ready for adoption.  Dr. Mary Coker advises and assesses all incoming animals.  She handles everything from hooves to noses - including Dottie's nose spray for pneumonia!

HAWKEYE
Hawkeye is a double rescue.  Kind folks rescued him some time ago from a tough situation and then released him to STAR to continue his forward progress.  He has lapped up the food and hay and in only a few short weeks his coat is up along with his spirits.  Many years ago he had a dislocated hip that was never repaired, rendering him a companion horse forever and NOT ridable.  He has a protective nature and 'tends' to those not as strong as he is.  A lovely gelding of 20, he has many good years to be someone's best friend.  Super easy to brush and hug on.

LILLIE
Lily is a lovely white face mare who is overcoming the sadness of having been hidden away and 'forgotten' in a barn.  The volunteers give her extra 'lovin' to brighten up her blue eyes.  She would love to go to her 'forever' home where she will have all the attention she deserves. About 21, she could be ridden by a small person who doesn't expect much from her.  Extremely gentle and kind.
Adoption Fee $300

BILLY and JOE
Billy and Joe, both 13 year old geldings, are lapping up the feed.  There were 4 horses in the field, 2 died.  These 2 lucky guys are beginning to trust again.  After 2 years of being patient and waiting for someone to care, it's a joy to watch them blossom.  Joe is a tatooed mustang with a damaged back leg due to a barbed wire injury.  He is NOT ridable.  Billy, however, would like to go again....it's only been a couple of years and he remembers!  Billy was born in NC so has no tatoo.  They have been together their entire lives and will be adopted only that way. They eat out of the same bucket even when they have 2!  They have shared much and deserve a loving home side by side forever.  A living piece of American history on 4 legs.
$400 adoption fee for both.

DOLLY
Dolly came to STAR in April with the help of many friends. Bruce, Eddie and Karen made it happen. With a body score of 1.5 Dolly now has all the hay, water and minerals she wants plus 3 meals a day. Having been picked on by her former pasture mates, she is grateful for the peace and quiet and TLC.
