I am very interested in getting a few horses from you. Im looking for a hard case horse who needs some tlc and training. Im interested in something (gender dosnt matter) the taller the better. Have references if needed. I will have nice pasture and round pen access for training. I have been raising and training for 10 years, and have lots of sucess! I use Clinton Anderson methods, along with alot of patience and consistency. I am going to be setting up as a trainer in the area as well, but will need another horse for personal use anyway, as my whole family rides! (we are a family of 6- 4 boys! LOL) I saw a large black horse in the pictures, black is my fav color, but open to anything you might think fits my description. I NEVER break a horses spirit, I Teach them to work willingly and accept leadership from people..... TTYL SaraJo I am a trainer whose moving to Ethridge in the next few weeks.

Hello Kathy, I came by your farm in June 2010 on the advise of my aunt, Maria Blackstone (who later adopted the down right adorable Eyore). After riding a few of your adoptable horses, I mounted Tessa, and within minutes knew she was the right one for me. I have been just tickled with her ever since. Tessa and I have begun a life long partnership that I am so grateful for. She has a heart of gold and we've enjoyed developing in a variety disciplines. If you recall, she had a mysterious old injury marked by significant scar tissue near her left hind hock and random uneven movement. Vets agree that it is not actually string halt, x-rays are all clean without evidence of any bone damage, she maintains full range of motion, so we've deduced that there must be some nerve damage. Over the last 6 months, Tessa has built up some great muscle tone and much to my surprise, her funny little stepping has nearly ceased entirely. If she feels uneasy about something or becomes frustrated, she will step higher with that one leg, but any challenges she face are minor and usually unnoticeable. Tessa has proved a trusty companion on long trails along the Red River, as she quietly tromps around through water, up to a small dam, through a lush hay field, and up and down hills on her steady shoeless feet. We enjoy dressage work to show off her beautiful lateral movement and our new trick, effortless flying lead changes. I recently discovered that she quite enjoys some light jumping for fun. She uses her hind legs equally and neatly squares up over fences. My husband came home from Afghanistan for just two weeks this past fall before returning to serve. He's not very "horsy," and was a little shocked when I handed him her lead as we fetched her from her pasture. He said, "how do I get her to move?" I said "Just walk, she'll follow at your shoulder." He hesitantly walked out the gate and was soon walking zig zags and circles amazed at her puppy like personality. As he watched me show her off under saddle, he said, "Are you sure she was a rescue? What's wrong with her?" I smiled and said "absolutely nothing." Thank you for saving Tessa and all the other horses you give another chance at a happy life to. Tessa is family and someday we'll be back to find her a companion that I can convince my husband to ride. I'll be sure to send you updated pictures and videos soon. Sincerely, One Happy Horse Owner Leslie Johnson Below is a letter MAHR received from Leslie on 1/23/11 from our happy adopter!!

I had a horse that had gotten her leg hurt similiar to this one. We don't have bob wire, but she is a dominant mare & we think she kicked & got her leg rubbed on the high tensil wire. She has completely healed now thanks for Mountain Empire Large Animal Hospital. I am sure this horse will heal. It is remarkable what vets can do with injuries these days. Good luck & best wishes!

I live in Knoxville and was not aware of your rescue. I am in search of a lesson horse or two and always start with the rescues to try and give someone another chance. My ranch is composed of quarter horses used to help students learn horsemanship, western and trail riding. I am not involved in showing, just casual riding. Estrella caught my eye, but my question is you have her listed as a potential barrell or pole bending prospect. Is this because of her disposition or conformation? She is a lovely girl and about the size I am looking for, I prefer a mare and a younger horse because I also train. FYI my training technique mirrors that of John Lyons whom I have worked with on several occasions. If you think Estrella may be quiet enough to continue natural horsemanship training and become a western lesson horse, please let me know and I'll head over and have a look at her.

May I read them to my equine students in an upcoming weekend workshop in September? It's a workshop held at Epona Ridge, NC where we use the healing powers of energy on horses like EFT and Qigong.
