Moonie is schedule to be gelded on the 28th of this month, he is becoming quite a little man. I can't wait til he is completely healed and I can start some groundwork training with him.
3/18/08 Moonie is schedule to be gelded on the 28th of this month, he is becoming quite a little man. I can't wait til he is completely healed and I can start some groundwork training with him. Vet called and cancelled due to an emergency. We will wait for vet to call me back to reschedule.
4/9/08 Let's try this again, Moonie is rescheduled to be gelded on 4/15/08. Fingers crossed the vet does not cancel again, Moonie is becoming a real ladies man and getting "spring fever" thank goodness for electric fence...lol...
4/16/08
We now have a gelding, and although Moonie does not like me very much right now he will be a much better horse in the end. He did so well during and after the procedure. He hardly has any drainage or swelling at all, but that may change over the next few days I'm sure. I will be keeping a close eye on him to make sure everything heals well. I stayed up with him till 1:30am this morning before I felt comfortable enough to go to bed. I will get some new pics after he is feeling better.

SEARA
Adoption fee is $500, references and contract required.
Seara is a gorgeous black 12yr.old OTTB mare who was raced and then was used as a broodmare for the past 5 years. She is enjoying just being a horse for now.
Seara's Christmas Picture: 12/24/07
Seara New Years Picture and wish: 12/30/07
Seara wishes everyone a Happy and Safe New Year.......
2/8/08
Seara is doing well and is a completely different horse since having her chiropractic treatments. Her back and hip problems have been resolved and she is walking completely flat and normal once again. We are hoping to get a trainer out to see her very soon so she can begin the next journey in her life and become a great riding horse. She has come such a long way and I believe she is going to make someone a really nice horse someday.
2/19/08
I just wanted to give you all an exciting update on Seara, she is the black thorobred we picked up last September from Aleta who rescued her from a neglectful situation. She had some issues in the beginning with her feet, back and hip but after several chiropractic appts. she is feeling so much better and just loves running without pain. She has picked up a good amount of weight and is just the most gorgeous black horse I have ever seen(of course I am not partial)..lol...
It is time for the next step in her journey in life and I have decided to send her to a very reputable trainer in MD for some much needed refresher courses. The trainer was out to see her over the weekend and says she has excellent conformation and she thinks she will make a very nice hunter jumper prospect. We are anticipating her to be in her first show come May if everything goes well. Wish Seara luck that she can shine like I know she will in the show ring. I am so looking forward to seeing her in her first show and writing a article to tell everyone how another rescued horse turned into something wonderful. The trainer is donating her time and expertise but FTER will be responsible for her board and shoes which will be $180 mo., any donation towards these expenses would be greatly appreciated and they always are. Thank you to Aleta who through your efforts saved our Seara girl and gave her this chance. And thank you to her supporters for helping me at Forgotten Treasures Equine Rescue to afford her chiropractic treatments and daily care to bring her this far on her journey. I will keep everyone posted with updates on my wiki and website so you all will know her progress as she goes.
2/28/08
The trainer had something come up and won't be picking Seara up until March 8th. That's ok cause it will give me another week to spoil and love on her before she goes for her training. I will keep everyone posted once she gets to the trainers on her progress and when her first show is...
3/18/08
Seara will come back from the trainer tonight, unfortunately she was evaluated and it was determined that she is not able to handle the daily regimen of a horse in training for hunter/jumper shows. She has become very sore on her back right leg. We are having a equine chiropractor come to give her opinion of how we can get her painfree. I will continue to work with her myself and will adopt her out as a pleasure riding horse. She has come such a long way and I only have her best interest at heart.
Seara will be going through Equine Chiropractic treatment to relieve the discomfort in her back right hip. Please watch for updates as he treatments are done. I know we can get her comfortable again so she can become a nice pleasure riding horse.
Update: 4/9/08
Seara had another treatment last night. She is getting so much softer on that right hind end, before her muscles were so stiff and hard that when we tried to touch them or pick up that foot we almost got kicked. Seara was so relaxed by the time Linda was done I hated to make her move and put her out to pasture....lol.... silly girl, went right out and rolled, and rolled and rolled. Linda says it is because she feels so much more comfortable. One more treatment and then we can start some lunging and balance groundwork with her so this kind of injury has less chance of happening again. Once all her treatments are done and the initial groundwork is started Seara will be ready for her new forever home. If anyone knows someone interested in this very special horse willing to patiently continue her training please send me a private e-mail. She is going to make someone a really nice riding horse.
4/29/08
Seara is sceduled for her 5th of 6 chiropractice treatments tonight... Linda is very pleased with her progress, everything is in line and all the stiffness is gone. Groundwork training will begin in a few weeks when Linda gives us the ok, Seara is going to learn to stay balanced which will prevent this type of injury from happening again.

SPRING PICS OF SEARA FEELING SO MUCH BETTER AND ENJOYING BEING PAIN FREE..
6/1/08
Seara is current on feet trimmings, wormings, and vaccines. She loves to be brushed and pampered, please consider making her your new best friend. She deserves the chance to show someone what a great horse she can be.
8/11/08 I am very happy to announce that I was able to ride Seara yesterday. I have been waiting for almost a year now to be able for us to take our first ride together and it finally happenend. It was such a great feeling to finally make that special connection with her yesterday. She has the most awesome smooth trot and is very responsive to whatever asked of her. Although I would not recommend a beginner rider she is a very nice mount. I will continue to work with her and start taking her on trail rides around the farm to get her used to different sites and sounds.

Updated pics of Seara. "Thanks Fob's for making me feel all better again" 
Seara is ready for her new home, she has so much to offer. If you are looking for your new best friend to trail ride please consider this sweet mare.
10/1/08
Seara has come such a long way in the last year that we have had her. She has really learned to enjoy all the love and attention she receives. She is going to make someone a really nice horse someday. This picture was taken at our open house we had on 9/28/08 and she was just being her goofy self and eating a carrot.
11/4/08
Seara has been ridden several times and is doing great. She is ready for her new home. Won't you make her your new trail riding partner????

CALI(GEORGIES' MOM)
8/23/08
Cali was saved from going back to New Holland Auction. Her owner has a riding stable where they lease out horses by the hour. She injured herself when someone decided to run her on the pavement extensively without her having shoes on. The barn owner had her on stall rest but did not want to put anymore time or money into her so was sending her back to auction. That is when FTER got involved and made sure she was safe. She is at an approved foster home for FTER.
I was there when she arrived at her foster mom's farm and was just in awe as to why someone would not want this beautiful horse. She is very sore on all four feet but I honestly believe in time she will come sound again. Here are some pics of her upon arrival. This is one lucky girl who won't be headed back to New Holland Auction. If anyone would like to be an angel for Cali please let me know,kdonohue672@aol.com.
Adoption fee is $750 , contract and references required

Cali is feeling so much better even after only 1 week of being pampered. I honestly believe she is suffering from road founder and in time will be a great riding horse. She has had x-rays and been looked at by a natural barefoot farrier, and so far it looks like she just needs some time off.
10/1/08
Cali is doing very well at her foster home. The natural barefoot farrier found abcesses in both her front feet which may explain the lameness she was experiencing when she came to us. Both abcesses have been drained and she is doing 100% better. We are hoping to bring Cali home sometime in October.
11/4/08
Cali is home at FTER and is doing great. She has settled in I love having her here. She will be evaluated soon and ready for adoption.
11/17/08
Cali had her first ride here at FTER over this past weekend. She was a great ride, she responded like a pro to walk and trot. We could not canter as it was way too muddy but she is very smooth and easy to handle. I would recommend a advanced beginner to intermediate rider for this girl. She is completely sound and ready for her new home. Please email me if you are interested in wonderful girl.
