Big New Additions!

Noah's Ark is very excited to announce that we are now able to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome horses!  After several meetings with volunteers who were ready, willing, and able to coordinate equine rescue, Noah's Ark officially accepted the first three horses into rescue on June 11, 2012.

Three additional horses are coming into the program next week.  At the present time, we have foster capacity for 18 horses, but expect that number to grow.

With the addition of equine rescue, we can use volunteers for some new responsibilities.If you are horse experienced and interested in evaluating horses to determine if they are broke and/or to what level, we need you!  Our equine team is committed to using natural horsemanship methods in order to not stress horses that have already been through far too much. 

With that said---meet our first equine friends:

Jewel -7 year old Arabian Mare - Jewel is like a puppy dog with her mischevious personality and overly friendly ground manners.  She is broke to ride, and uses a bitless bridle.  She is extremely clever and a joy to be around.  She had a beautiful dark bay coloration.  Her adoption fee is $500.


Evangeline - 9 year old Arabian Mare - Eva is a little shy with new people, and takes time to get comfortable.  She was seized from a neglect case when she was pregnant, and gave birth the Aurora, who is also adoptable.  We do not know if Eva is broke to ride, but she has really great ground manners.  Her adoption fee is $150.


Aurora  - 5 Month Old Arabian Filly - "Rory", as we call her is a sweet little goofball.  She loves to show off an play, and will nuzzle a human like another horse--you just have to watch that she doesn't bite your nose, as even though she is just playing, it would hurt.  Rory has grown up in rescue and never known abuse or neglect.  She is ready to be weaned from her mom and go out into the big world on her own.  Mom is Evangeline, the sorrell Arabian mare, and Dad was a gorgeous Gray stallion.  Rory is turning Grey already and will be spectacular.  This girl has great form and conformation, and could grow into a perfect eventing horse.
