Chance - Mustang Mix - 2004
Chance as seen on KOAT TV, was abandoned in Placitas with what appeared to be signs of mistreatment and wandered into the hearts of the neighborhood. The neighbors banded together and with the help of the community tried to find the owner to no avail. When we were called to step in and help this beautiful gelding have a second chance, the neighbors decided to name him "Chance".

Wobbles - Black Gelding - 2006
Wobbles has a neurological disease called Wobbler's Disease. It makes him unstable and unbalanced when moving. The best thing about Wobbles is his great attitude, he has no idea he has a disability.You should see how enthusiastic he is when you show up with a bag of carrots! He is a really happy, good natured horse and really loved by all!
Wobbles is still young, untrained and is not able to be ridden, so he will most likely spend the rest of his life with us.
If you would like to help with his care at any level please
