SHASTA
Shasta is a grade QH filly, 2 years old. Extremely friendly, intelligent, and athletic. Has all the ground work basics. Looking for an adopter with some experience who could give her the life and training she deserves.
If I can't find the right placement for her in Grand Junction would I potentially be able to get her on a wait list for your rescue? There is nothing at all wrong with this horse, she is just young and needs more training. I want to find the perfect home for her.

I have an older horse that has been abandoned and would love to go to a good home. It was still very cold when I took the pictures but he sheds out beautifully. Romeo is 21 years of age and in his younger years was a top notch jumper. Unfortunately, he can no longer be ridden due to severe arthritis in his neck and withers, diagnosed two years ago. He is good with the farrier and vets and just needs a place to retire and some love and attention. We are a boarding facility with around 24 horses at any given time and unfortunately we don’t have room to keep any longer. Thank you for any help you can provide to help find Romeo a good home.

DAKOTA
If anyone is looking for a sweet, beautiful companion horse please consider Dakota. He is a 14.1 hand pony that is about 18 years old. I need to retire him because he has navicular and trail riding is too painful for him on the uneven terrain. Dakota gets along with all horses. He is located in Carbondale, Colorado. Please call me if you are interested at 970-618-3305.
MIDNIGHT
Midnight is about 12 to 13 years old. Current owners have had him for 2 years now. (Picture is from 2 years ago.) He had a stroke in September 2017 and can no longer do the work of a dude horse. Owner would love see him go to a good home and be a good companion. He is with our herd up in Walden, CO. He would need to be picked up from there.

Grizz is a 20 year old TB gelding, almost 17 hands, completely UTD on vet, farrier, and vaccinations. He has been in the STeamboat area his entire life and has bounced around a few ranches before he came here, we have had him for 2 years. He is very well trained, likely from an equitation or show background from the moves he shows us. He trailers excellently, is great in the arena and is overall a sweet affectionate horse.
Well he sounds like a great horse! So why do we not want to sell him or give him away blindly? When he got to us he was very flighty, had bad ulcers and a bolting panic response. We addressed the ulcers, gave him time to be a horse and started in the arena. This is where he shines, knows what he is doing and the expectations, and has obviously been a schooling horse in the past.

PEPPER
He is a 24 year old gelding Arabian. We have had him for 6-7 years. I ride him about once a week, he does great riding with a western saddle and I also ride him bareback. He has a very sweet disposition and temperament and sometimes spooks with gusts of wind. He has recently seen the farrier and vet for a teeth floating (he stands well and behaves for both). He has few posterior teeth left (anterior are all intact and healthy) and is on a mash regimen 1-2x a day of beet pellets, rice brain, alfalfa pellets and senior grain with canola oil soaked in hot water. He is still able to eat hay and alfalfa flakes that he has 24/7 access to and also likes to graze on grass. We are looking for a home with large pasture for him to graze on and even someone with other horses for him to be around. We want him to go to a good home where they can take care of his needs. We will be giving away almost everything needed with him; any feed we have, water tank, halter, lead ropes, grooming tools,winter coat etc. We have a neighbor who's dog likes to chase and nip at him and we are unable to get this resolved and don't want him going through that anymore. Our winters are sometimes brutal and even though he has a shelter they are tough for him to go through. He does great around people and kids, he has never bitten,kicked or bucked with us. I enjoy riding him as he listens well and is a smooth ride. He is registered and I have his papers.

He was born in 2002 or 2003. He has been used for packing and riding, but does require an experienced rider. He developed a knee problem a few years ago and just cannot handle the mountain where I live anymore. Please contact mhaskett@jmloutfitters.com for more information.

SHADOW
He is a calm and gentle boy that loves trail rides and spending time with his people. He's very low maintenance. He would be great with kids or an older adult that doesn't care to go too fast.
