Name: "He'z A Champ"

Age: 16 yrs old

Height: 14.1

Gender: Gelding

Breed: Quarter horse Dun

Comments: Received on 12/13

UPDATE: Champ is ready for adoption!  "He'z A Champ" was our first rescue and remains at the ranch to date (5/25/2009) to continue rehabilitating his hoof.  It is coming along nicely thanks to our farrier. 

Champ was rescued during the heavy rain & flooding on Oahu on 12/13.  Thanks to my rescue team we were able to get Champ out of his paddock before the flood & landslide took away his stall and he made it out with his life. 

Champ's assessment has been completed.  Our vet cleared him with a clean bill of health and Champ is now UTD on all shots and worming.  He wll be gelded by the end of February.  He stands for the farrier, baths and clips.  He even loads well in a trailer.  Has gained a lot of weight and is putting weight on his leg.  Champ had a break in the left rear pastern many years ago, however he uses it just fine.  This is probably one of the best healed pastern breaks I have ever seen.  He will continue to receive proper corrective trimming over the next 4-6 months to get him to stand up better on that leg.  No signs of discomfort and he picks up all 4 feet with no problem. 

Our trainer has assessed Champ and it was established that he can be ridden.  A child, teenager or even an adult weighing less than 165 lbs.  He neck reins and has a great whoe.  Comfortable using a grazing bit or snaffle.  Very light on the mouth and collects nicely while ridden.  Walking only, no trotting. 

Would you like to sponsor Champ and be apart of his life? 

When you sponsor a horse from us keep in mind that the horse you sponsor may have been a victim of neglect, abuse, or a surrender.  We work very hard to rescue and rehabilitate our equine friends in need, but in order to continue to rescue more horses we need sponsors like you to help pay for rehabilitation treatments and feed.  When becoming a sponsor you are giving an individual horse a second chance at living a better life!

How Much Does A Sponsorship Cost? 

Sponsoring Fees vary depending on if you want to make a one time donation or if you would like to contribute on a monthly basis.  By making a monthly contribution you will be sponsoring an individual horse continually until he is adopted. 

*When you sponsor a horse, you can visit your sponsored horse

*Help feed and care for your sponsored horse

*Interact with your sponsored horse

*Groom and maybe even ride your sponsored horse (management will determine).
