Billy arrived at RVR Horse Rescue in March of 2022. He was surrendered to RVR due to an unfortunate family circumstance. We were contacted by local authorities assisting the family to see if we would be able to open our doors to him. Billy has settled in at RVR and is being showered with love from our volunteers. Upon arrival, Billy was checked over by our veterinarian. He is estimated to be about 23 years old. Billy is up-to-date on his vaccinations, has had his dental done, and is now available as a pasture pal.

Early Dancer’s dam is an Appaloosa (Feather). Her sire is an American White Horse. She has not been trained under saddle and would do best as a pasture pal. She is very curious and attentive and has bonded well to her pasture mates.

Euro arrived at RVR in 2018. He came in off of the race track with a right rear sesamoid injury. Euro was also diagnosed with anhidrosis (inability to sweat normally). After completing rehab, he was adopted out to a loving home. Sadly, Euro’s owner passed away, but he quickly found himself a new home with Elliot. Unfortunately Euro and Elliott were returned to RVR due to unforeseen family circumstances. Euro is eagerly awaiting his new forever home. He requires a home with lots of shade due to his inability to sweat.

Concertos Song was retired from racing after 126 starts. The barn name for this sweet-natured boy is Cheerio.

Moon

  • Color:
  • HH: Pony
  • Rescue Status: Available for Adoption. Sponsor Needed

Petite Moon was originally brought to RVR Horse Rescue by a concerned citizen who had taken him in with hopes of being able to help him. He has a soft palate. She brought him to us to see what our team could do for him. The veterinarians determined surgery wasn’t an option, but Moon has adjusted to eating and drinking by his own will. Moon needs a family who’s able to handle his special needs. He can eat grass, but no hay.

Freddy

  • Foaled: 2007
  • Sex: Gelding
  • Breed: Paso Fino
  • Color: Bay
  • HH:
  • Rescue Status: Available for adoption. Partially Sponsored.

This shy, sweet boy was found, scared and emaciated, in a dog cage in someone’s back yard before he was rescued. But far from belonging in the dog house, this little gentleman takes direction very well and exhibits excellent ground manners while on walks. Still uneasy around loud and sudden movements, he has gained lots of confidence through our barn buddy program and continues to come out of his shell. Though he is unsound for riding, Freddy has made a permanent place in the hearts of many. This handsome fellow would love to find a forever home alongside his best buddy, Moon.
