I have been contacted by an owner in Plattsmouth, NE who is seeking placement for her 7 horses. Her health is declining and while the horses are safe for the near term, she is in need of re-homing or rescue before she is unable to care for them. She provided the following description of the horses on her ranch:


Ruffian--is a 33 yr old roan mare, bilateral back legs have short white socks, bilateral from legs have short multi colored stripped socks, long thin irregular facial star

Chival--is a 30 yr old light chestnut mare, with a large white blaze on her face, rt front and back lt socks, all 4 legs have multi-colored strips of some sort which run on her inner legs as well, she also has scattered white on her body and jaws now as she ages

Ella-- is 30 yr old light chestnut with a left front sock, irregular facial star in what we've called a bird/crane shape,

Black--is a 27 yr old gelding who acts 5, he has short white socks, and also is starting to show white as he ages on his jaw line

Vincent--is 27 yrs old, roan, gelding, rough edged facial blaze, 4 white socks

Finale--is a 16 year old gelding, roan, rt back sock, other legs with multi-colored stripes

Spangler--is a 16 yrear old gelding, light chestnut with white socks on all legs, bird/crane facial white star, back left sock is shorter than others


These horses have been together nearly all of their lives and have had little contact with others outside the owner’s family. She indicates that the transition may be most difficult for Ruffian, Ella and Vincent. But they do love alfalfa cubes and anyone with a feed bucket.


The owner is having difficulty caring for both the animals and the property in her declining state and hopes to move closer to Omaha once the horses have been placed.




Thank you in advance! Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. My phone number is listed below and is the best way to reach me.
