~ Companions for Life ~
Zaynah is an Arabian mare and the matriarch of the ladies. She is estimated to be 27 years old. Zaynah was rescued emaciated with a damaged and infected left eye. Unfortunately, her eye had to be removed while in quarantine. She was also pregnant but too thin for anyone to notice due to her malnourishment. She gave birth to a beautiful and healthy colt named Shiloh. Zaynah loves to be groomed and take walks.
Luna, another grand lady, is estimated to be between 20- to 25 years old. She has dealt with dental issues and had some teeth removed about 2 years ago. She is the alpha of the group so no one messes with her. She is not agressive but clearly the others know their place in the herd. She is bonded with Harley.
Harley, a Saddlebred mare estimated to be around 20 years old, is fondly referred to as a ballerina. Her slender physique and long legs make her look like a dancer. She is the most challenging in the group to get close to, but if you get close to Luna, Harley is easy to catch. It is clear when she and Luna are apart that they look for each other and call out.
Guinevere, a Morgan mare born in 2007 (15 years old), has experienced challenges since she was born. She was born blind and at 6 months old sent for surgery for lens replacement, only to lose her left eye in recovery. She has always seen her world through one eye and now has no vision in her right eye except for lights and shadows. She navigates her space quite well and relies on her pasture mates. Guinevere cannot be stalled. She needs to live outside with access to shelter. Her dental and farrier care require a sedative to relax her and she has done very well taking that extra step for us to work with her.
These four mares are quite special. Each have their own story as we know it over the last few years. They are looking for that special someone and that special home where they can continue their life journey together. When their movements are synchronous, it is quite heartwarming to watch.

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?

Not sure what Bill’s life was like before we saved him, but he can sure use some love and attention. He can be sweet but doesn’t seem to know a lot. He’s sound and has a stocky build. He would need a soft hand to work on what he might know about riding.

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.

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 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?

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. She is bonded with her pasture mate Luna. Harley does not like being stalled. She prefers to be outside 24/7.

Jameson is an American Saddlebred with quite a presence. He stands tall and is quite handsome. Jameson was an Amish cart horse and is now living the life of a horse grazing in a field and hanging around with his equine friends.
He has a lot of energy and can be seen running and playing with the youthful equines in his paddock. Although he walks and trots, the canter is hard for him likely due to his time as a cart horse where cantering was not allowed. Jameson has been evaluated under saddle and on the trails for quite a few months, and it appears Jameson is not comfortable being ridden. Jameson would be best as a companion horse.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In Training…Come Visit Me!
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!

**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.

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.

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.

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.
