We have the need to add a page to try and help place horses in our area and across the state that are needing homes. Below are the horses we have been contacted about that are not here at the rescue, but need to find loving homes. Please be aware that Mountain View Rescue does not have these horses in rehabilitation, nor do we endorse any statements made regarding these horses. We are offering the service of posting these horses on our website so that they may find good homes. Any communication regarding these horses will have to be made between the current owner and the inquirer. Please email us for contact information if it is not listed.

If you are an owner trying to place a horse for free, please list them on the following websites as well.

I should have suspected something was not quite right about Mercer Co... because they gave me neither paperwork nor background information on the horses. We know nothing of them prior to our taking them.
Both are female. They are very much bonded such that we question whether they might not be mother & daughter. We were told that mommy, Lillith, is quite old. She's had considerable trouble picking up weight. She has one front upper tooth missing. She's a bit sway-backed. She's approachable by women but not so much by me. Pan is very difficult to catch. We haven't even been able to comb the tangles out of her mane. She looked to be in fair health when we got her. She also is a little more tolerant to woman than men but not much so.

Missing Horses- Campbellsville KY

I am currently looking for a home for an older Rocky Mountain Horse mare. She is healthy, well cared for. She is up to date on vaccinations, de-worming and farrier care, but she is 19 years old and is slightly sway backed, due to what I think was lack of care and over breeding by a prior owner. She was a championship mare under saddle in the Rocky Mountain shows in 1994. I have had her for approx. five years and she has had two healthy foals. But I do not want to breed her anymore, she has more that paid her dues and I have several other horses that I am trying to sell as my husband has been un-employed for three years. However I don't want to sell her as she does need special care and attention and I don't want some crazy person getting her and breeding her until she drops dead or riding her into the ground. She does need grain twice a day (not much) and good hay as she was almost starved when I first got her and she can loose weight fast. She also needs to have shelter available. I do not keep her stalled but she can come and go into her stall as she wishes, she likes a blanket in the winter. She is ok to ride but not vigorously. She is well trained and is very smooth, she is the horse I always saddle up when my young niece wants to ride. She is super calm and sweet.
Her last foal was two years ago. She is sound, but not used to being ridden a lot so she does not have a lot of stamina and would need slowly to get used to regular riding. She could not do long, exerting type of trail rides, etc. It has been since last fall since she was ridden by my nine year old niece. She is very gentle and a bit timid around other horses; she is at the bottom of the line in our herd order. I think she is very good with beginners and children. And my adult brother has some impairments and is pretty inept with horses, but she seems to get the idea and is patient. Her skill is way beyond his, and her gait is wonderful.
She has a beautiful face and head, too bad she has that slight sway back, but it has not impaired her or caused her pain. She does get allergies in the spring that makes her eyes watery. It usually clears up on its own, but sometimes has to be treated with drops. She has not had any allergies this year however, probably this crazy weather. That is the only health related problem that she has.
I have attached a couple of pictures of her, in one she was in foal, the other with the foal. The foal is now a two year old gelding.

Because of my health I need to place this horse in a good
home. He is an ex-endurance Arabian 17yo, black, about 15h, great for light
trail
riding. Sparky has a lot of years left of easy trail riding and is a very good
trail horse. He needs someone to use and love him.

Woody is 16.3 hands, 20 years old, Thoroughbred, never raced, no tattoo,
beautifully trained, very calm except when my 12 year old daughter gets them
worked up in the field to take photos...he's a BTDT horse, you can ride him
every day, or once a month, or after 6 months and he picks up where you left
off. Just a beautiful ride and he loves it!
His only vice is he's a cribber. He's on Smart Choice 2x a day, I give him a
hoof supplement (he has nice feet, no shoes), and a joint supplement 1x a day,
and lots of hay.
He's the first one to the gate, stands beautifully for the farrier, great with
shots, trailers nicely. His previous owner had him 8 years. She showed upper
level dressage with him, hunter/jumper, trail rides, and gave lessons with him.
I'm due to leave at the end of April and I don't know what to do if I don't find
a home for him. I'd like Woody to go as soon as possible. I have tack to go with
him and a year of worming supplies and whatever feed and supplements he has
leftover. He's UTD on his shots, has a health certificate, and is ready to roll.
If the farrier will come do his feet (he's on vacation), I'll have that taken
care of, too.
