The last weekend of October I adopted a horse. The sanctuary he was at kept him for a couple of weeks to evaluate him for training and put some additional training on him that he needed. Then, they went radio silent. I left so many voicemails, so many Facebooks messages, all with no response. I had sort of assumed that they'd decided to give him to someone else. Then, this past weekend they finally called me and arranged to drop him off.
He got here on Sunday and is just awesome so far. He's gone from a "wild" herd of 400 mustangs, to adoption, to training, to trailering 5 hours to me and living in a completely different climate all in about six weeks. Through all of this he's mildly nervous but takes everything totally in stride and is keeping a very calm, friendly demeanor. He still needs a name but I thought I'd show you all some photos!

I love him so much! His bangs are beautiful!! His bangs and overall beautiful head of hair was a big part of me choosing him.  He's got about 5 times as much mane as my old horse. I cannot wait to braid it! |

I like Raven but I'm not sure if it's too feminine sounding for me. It's likely to be either Onyx or Shadow. So far those are the two that seem to fit him best.

the roll!  enjoy loving on your new baby! Of your contenders, I like Shadow better. How about Shade? It's a similar feel, but "stronger". |

He’s a handsome boy! The photo of him rolling is very cute.  I don’t know why, but the phrase “rescue horse” makes me want to see him in a super-cape. |

I have high hopes of using him for Halloween one year and dressing up as a LOTR Ringwraith.

He's handsome! I like Onyx, but I'd call him Onnie.
Looks like you made a perfect choice. Keep us posted on his progress.
And we will need to see a pic of you aboard!

Oh he is gorgeous, and I love the name Shade! How old is he? I'm not sure. The paperwork they gave me the day I adopted him says he's a quarter horse cross between 8-10. Then the next bit of paperwork I was given says mustang cross 10+ years. So I'm just going with 10. 😂 |
