BUTTONS
Appaloosa, Buttons is gaining weight, but will never regain the ground he lost as a colt.  Only 14 hands, he's 'cute as a button.' Adoption fee $400.

RUSTY
Many feel that mustangs should be 'broken' and have saddles on their backs.  Many accomodate their owners by doing so and adjust to their new world.  Rusty decided, after going through all the 'training' he could endure, that he would throw the next guy that got on his back.  And he did - three times.  Very disappointed that this little horse was 'too wild' he was donated to S.T.A.R. Ranch.
Donations for Rusty will go for hoof repair, special feed and treatment for his coat, and hay.  He can stay at S.T.A.R. forever, or find a home that understands--- "I'm a REAL mustang."

SNOWBALL
At 20+ years, Snowball arrived very much overweight....having foundered several springs in a row.  Now with room to run (she doesn't know it is exercise) and the right diet, she is back in shape and ready for a great home.  In typical pony style, she doesnt' take 'no' for an answer from her other herd members.  No longer ridable, she is the perfect companion for anyone.  She may have been a unicorn in another life!  $250 adoption fee.

STARBUCK
Starbuck, Tenn. Walker, has lost vision in his right eye.  He has adapted to seeing only with his left which is handy since that is 'rider' side anyway.  $450 adoption fee, 8 years old and ready to ride.

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.

DOLLY
Dolly came to STAR in April with the help of many friends.  Having been picked on and bitten by her former pasture mates, she was grateful for the peace and quiet and TLC.  Today she is comfortable as a pasture mate, most of the bite marks are gone, and she is looking for her forever home.  $300 adoption fee.
