This older sweet boy will spend the next few months resting and gaining weight. He will also get some extra TLC to get him settled and adjusted to a relaxing horse life. NO more strenuous jobs or activities for Arizona.
Do you want to provide that special home where he can live out his years enjoying the companionship of his human family and the camaraderie of his equine friends?

Argentina is in need of someone special. She is quite nervous around people and it’s clear she has trust issues. We don’t know her ability yet, but she was likely worked too hard. She has a big scar on her left thigh. We will update Argentina’s page as soon as we have new information. ~ March 2021 ~

Bradley Cooper has grown to be quite handsome (just like his namesake). Cooper is loving life and frolicking in his paddock with his great pal Shiloh. He is halter broke but needs training. Are you looking to continue what we started by giving this young colt a happy and healthy life?
Cooper is one of two foals born spring of 2020. He was born on April 20, 2020 to Lady. The farm was bursting with excitement as we all waited for a second foal to arrive. He was born in the middle of the night and mom did a wonderful job bringing him into the world. Lady is a protective mother and Cooper knows where to hide (behind mom) when he’s unsure of all the humans peering in to catch a glimpse.

Carla is a really sweet mare who gets along well in a herd with geldings and mares. She would benefit from groundwork since she has not been under saddle in about 6 months. Everyone who sees Carla from a far notices her right away. With more time to put on more weight, this beauty will be a real stunner.

CoCo is still working on her trust issues. While she has successfully joined a herd and will come closer to humans, she is still in need of working closely with someone. CoCo will need training to work out her concerns with getting close to people. She has not been ridden during her time at 13 Hands, but she is sound.
Do you have room for CoCo and the patience to see her through this process of healing?

Juliet has evolved since her time at our new home in Clinton Corners. She’s friendly and curious and no longer retreats when humans are near. She gets along with all the mares in the herd. Juliet needs a home where she can continue to enjoy the company of equines and bond with a human or two! She has not been ridden while at 13 Hands. She will need groundwork since she has not been worked or ridden in at least 2 years.

Lady has become more approachable since first arriving at 13 Hands in March 2020. She is now part of a large herd of mares since her foal, Bradley Cooper, was weaned.
Lady is still cautious, but she’s also curious now and wants to engage with people. She will need more groundwork to gain your trust. She leads nicely and wants to be with her human companions, but she requires some 1:1 time with that special person who will help her come out of her shell. She’s young, and we know the right home is out there waiting for her. You have to be willing to take on a project and know that the end reward will be for both human and horse.
When this beautiful mare was rescued, we were surprised to learn she was in foal. She arrived at 13 Hands within 6 weeks of giving birth and we were blessed with a little colt, Bradley Cooper, on April 20, 2020.

Living life with her girlfriends close by is enough to put a smile on your face. She loves to have visitors so if you come for a visit, make sure you stop by and say hello.
This sweet, gentle, and quiet soul is waiting for the next phase in her life. Mocha Latte would make a wonderful companion or even a partner in a therapeutic setting. She cannot take a rider, so any therapy done on the ground would be a good fit for this grand lady.
May 2022
Mocha is doing great. After spending the last 7 months with her foal Cappuccino, she is now ready for her next adventure. She is ready for her forever home with pasture mates she can grow old with and humans who will continue to show her care and love.
Mocha was sent to auction pregnant and thankfully was saved by 13 Hands. After arriving in July 2021, she took the next several months to gain some weight and gain strength. She’s a sweet mare and loves people. On October 23, 2021, her foal was born. Cappuccino was born healthy and strong.

Pride has made a lot of progress since his arrival in late May 2022. See his transformation below. This handsome guy could be yours. He’s about 18 years old and looking for a home where he can take next steps for further rehab. He’s still a bit nervous and quite attached to his herd buddies, Navajo and Arizona.

Splash is pasture mates with our baby Draft, Cappuccino. He’s a good “big brother,” and they can be seen playing together and walking their paddock alongside each other. Splash will need a patient and gentle hand for training. He needs to trust you and feel that he can be with you without strict expectations.
UPDATE~ August 24, 2021:
With some increased human contact and special feed twice a day, Splash is starting to come around. He approaches you and comes to the fence. He’s still skittish, but he’s moving in the right direction. Imagine what kind of experience he had with humans before he was left at auction?
July 2021: This scared pony has a lot of energy, but he’s scared and needs a gentle and patient hand. He is not easy to catch and he’s a runner and a jumper! He definitely needs time to rehab and for us to evaluate the best forever home.

This fun loving Blue Roan always tries to get your attention. He’s the perfect boy to take on walks. He is ready to join a therapy program. He can be a wonderful companion to another equine. This gelding is quite special.
Blue is about 21 years old and due to foot soreness, is on soft footing in the barn or turned out on a sand paddock. For now, he continues to grow out his soles and have careful trimming. He loves to take walks and is great with his handlers. We are not certain Blue can be ridden, but further evaluation by an adopter could result in a more precise assessment of his ability.

**A partner in our Equine Assisted Therapy program**
January 2022: Gracie has been adopted and will remain at 13 Hands with her companion, Leo.
Visitors who know her are thrilled that they can still spend time with her when they visit. She is so friendly and kind to visitors. It’s sweet how she is always ready to say hello. If you’re around for afternoon hay time, her braying can be heard from wherever you are.
UPDATE!!! Since September, Gracie has found herself a donkey match and is happy eating and roaming with her buddy.
When Gracie first arrived, she seemed so sad and the light was gone from her eyes. After a short time, we already see positive changes. We now hear her braying, and she is more alert and curious about her human caregivers. She will even take a carrot or a piece of an apple as a treat. There is a bright future ahead for Gracie, and we can’t wait to see her in her forever home.

Guinevere is doing well. She has put on weight and has settled into a small herd. Companionship was something that was missing for quite a few years and now she has it.
If you’re interested in adoption, Guinevere needs to live outside 24/7. She does not do well in a stall. She becomes very agitated and quite vocal. Guinevere needs to feel the open space around her. She only sees lights and shadows in her right eye (her left eye was removed at 6 months old). Guinevere is more comfortable around people now, and she welcomes the human touch. A good head scratch is always the way to go.
Guinevere’s story began early in her life. Born blind and with cataracts, she had surgery for lens replacement. Soon after the successful surgery, an injury to the left side of her face required the removal of her eye. At about 5 years old she was adopted by a family. Unfortunately, after so many years together, they were unable to care for her and they needed to find a home for their beloved horse. 13 Hands was able to help.
She has been ridden in the past, but we have not determined how she’s doing now under saddle.

Harley is quite stunning. “Elegant, like a ballerina, graceful” are all terms that have been used to describe her. She’s quite shy, a bit skittish but has calmed down since arriving here. Harley is in need of a good home and a second chance. She is looking for that one special person to bond with who can give her the time and patience she deserves so that she can excel! She’s a great “project horse” for an experienced rider. Has not been ridden and is best as a pasture mate. Harley does not like being stalled. She prefers to be outside 24/7.

This mini palomino gelding has made strides since arriving at 13 Hands. He was quite scared and difficult to get close to. Over time, he has allowed us to get closer.
Tid Bit needs more groundwork which will also help him bond with his forever person or family. He is learning to respond to commands to move forward and to stop while leading.
Tid Bit has an injury to his right which has impaired his vision.

Valentino has settled in nicely to our farm, but it’s been quite the journey for this little guy from the day he arrived ’til now. When we rescued him from auction, he was completely unhandled and had little to no interactions with humans. Despite his understandable fears & apprehensions, he had a willingness to learn. Sara Vanecek has been working with him since the beginning and Valentino has excelled in his training! He has seized every opportunity at his second chance at life and is developing into a brave & trusting young mini.
He is still learning but ready for his forever herd. He will need someone who can continue to bond with him in the same soft & sensitive way he is used to. His beautiful eyes and sweet innocence are even more captivating in person. If you are interested in adopting Valentino, please reach out to us today!

Zaynah is a beautiful Arabian mare. She gave birth to Shiloh on 12/12/18, who is now a thriving yearling with a lot of spunk.
Zaynah’s tale is one of incredible perseverance. After being rescued in an emaciated state, dumped at auction and with a terrible eye injury, she is now loving life outdoors 24/7 with her equine pasture mates. Zaynah was tagged at auction and her note read “old mare – rides nice.”
Zaynah is doing well and enjoying her life as a horse, surrounded by lots of care and love. She would make a wonderful pasture pal for a loving home.

She has an injury to her left eye that has left her without vision. Eby has been evaluated under saddle and her lack of vision in her left eye makes her a cautious mover. She will need time to learn the feel of her rider and build trust to know that she won’t be steered wrong.
Are you interested in meeting this pretty lady? Give us a call and get up close and personal with Eby.

**Jett is currently being partnered with our Therapy program participants.**
“Gentle and Giant” 
…that’s what you could say about Jett. He’s intimidating from a distance and when you get up close, you’re not sure what to expect. He’s definitely a big boy. Jett is one of the largest horses we’ve ever had. He’s very sweet, quiet and gentle too!
We love him!!
Jett was tried at a trot and canter and he may have some issues with his hind legs. He needs further evaluation by a veterinarian to determine soundness.

Northern Star has joined a herd of diverse mares after six months at 13 Hands. She and her pal CoCo Chanel, who arrived together, now run among a herd finding their way into new friendship circles. Northern Star is friendly and more approachable than her first days with us. She is quite stunning to watch her move. While she is sound, Northern Star has never been ridden during her time at 13 Hands. She will require groundwork training so she can gain your trust and be ready to ride. She is spirited, so she will need an experienced rider who is patient and wants the joy of building a special bond.

This handsome fella is easy on the eyes and one of the quietest boys we’ve seen. He’s wonderful with children and would be the perfect family horse. It’s too early to say if he can be ridden. Pilot needs time to rehabilitate and then we can get a more accurate assessment. It is clear that his life before 13 Hands included a lot of riding and a lot of exposure to people. He’s in his mid -teens.

Our 2018 Miracle Baby Turns Three!
December 12, 2021



Shiloh was our Christmas miracle. Born on 12/12/2018 after his mother, Zaynah, was saved at auction. Mom was emaciated and had a terrible eye infection. When the vet came to remove mom’s eye, they discovered she was 8 months pregnant! Amazingly, a healthy foal was born. Mother and baby are doing great.
Shiloh is halter broke and is now hangin’ with the big boys. He needs training and a home that will work with him to provide good structure and teach him proper ground manners.

When Sprite first arrived we thought it would take some time for her to come close to us. She was hard to catch…we were told. That changed quickly. She is cautious and curious, so at first she may ignore you and play hard to get. Give her some time. Spend time in her space. Let her come to you. Patience is the key. Sprite is young and energetic and is unhandled. She will need training.

Tomas has a darker shoulder stripe with more white around the eyes. Tucker’s markings are lighter and less shading around the eyes.
They are both sweet and pal around all the time. They get along well with their equine companions, but they definitely prefer the company of each other. They are inseparable! They both need more human contact since they are a bit nervous. They lead fairly well but will need more groundwork to get them more comfortable. If they don’t want to walk, they will stand firm until they are ready to walk on.

Aria is 1 years old!
Watching her grow and change this past year has been an incredible experience. Those who know her since her birth are thrilled to see the changes she has gone through these last 12 months. She is strong and beautiful and loving life with her pasture mate, Esmerelda. Aria has loved human contact since the minute she took her first breath. What an opportunity to show her kindness and the human connection from the very beginning. For a young impressionable life to know love and care from the very start is precious.



Our little Aria was born on April 16, 2020 to our beautiful mare, Meredith. Since the moment she was born, all eyes were on her. She was quick. She was curious. She was affectionate. She was everything a newborn could be…and of course ADORABLE! Aria has had human contact since the day she was born and anyone who has had the good fortune to spend time with her can see it. She loves to be around people (like mother, like daughter), and she would love on you all day if you let her. She can be seen frolicking in the paddock with her pasture mate Bradley Cooper, who is only four days younger than her.
