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.

We have a horse that we are looking to find the right home for. Her name is Daphne and she has a neurological disorder that prevents her from riding. She is fine on her own, and watching her in the pasture you would never think anything was wrong. She does not require any maintenance for this, and there is no treatment. She has EXCELLENT manners and is very sweet. We would like to find her a companion home, or someone who strictly wants a pet and not to ride. We just want her to get the love and attention she deserves. She is about 8 years old and 14.2 hands tall, dun. She has excellent ground manners and stands very well for the vet and farrier. No problems with shots or wormer (you can do both without a halter in the pasture). Daphne will get on the trailer and go anywhere as if she has done it a million times. Daphne has never offered to kick, bite or strike. She ground ties, will tie to a fence, or crossties. Loves attention and being groomed. Her only problem (and reason for her becoming a companion only horse) is that we found that she has a neurological disorder. She is not lame and needs no extra care for this, she just doesn't need to carry the weight of a rider. To watch Daphne move you would never think anything was wrong, but we have put in enough vet visits to be sure. Her condition will not get any worse or any better with treatment, so we want her to be able to live her life being happy with another horse and some attention. We absolutely believe that Daphne should NOT be ridden and want to make sure whomever she goes to will not be tempted to ride her. That is one of the main reasons we are being so careful in finding her the right home. She is an extremely easy keeper. Currently she is on a dry lot with only two flakes of hay/day. UTD on all coggins, vaccines, and wormer. We have her trimmed by a natural farrier ever 8 weeks.
14 YO Reg. Quarter Horse Gelding
Tennessee close to Scottsville, KY line.
Tivios Hotlegs Gold "Banana" was my barrel horse. He was very good. But, for the last 2 years he has not been sound. He foundered. Not severely to where you can tell by looking at his hooves. But enough that he gets gimpy. He is the most wonderful horse after he gets to know and trust you that you can find. He -can from a very abusive home prior to my ownership. He was so nervous he would just shake when you would approach him. He was so head shy you can not imagine. He doesn't like men. He hates to be caught in a pasture. The man I bought him from rode him with a chainsaw blade for a bit! I don't mean a bicycle chain like a mule bit. It was a blade of a chain saw. That poor horse's mouth was so cut up that I had to ride him with a hackamore for months. Once he learned that I wasn't going to hurt him, he gave 110% He would lay his head on me to be scratched. I could catch him...most of the time. Some days he reverted back to the run off game. I really love this horse. I would love to see him go to a place where he could bond with someone and have a chance to rehabilitate if possible, to a light trail horse or pet. He loves attention and I am no longer able to give him the attention he deserves. Right now he is turned out on 50 acres with rolls of Bermuda grass hay. But he deserves to see people and be brushed and right now I can't do that.
Quality Quarter Ponies- Columbia KY
"Sapphire" is a 14.1 hand three year old blue roan Quarter Pony mare. She has had two month's of professional training. She's a great mount for anyone. Most of her training, after the basics in the round pen, have been on the trails so she has become very well rounded. She is a sweetheart, rides Western and English. She would shine in Short Stirrup and other pony hunter classes.
"Straw Boss" is a 13.1 hand 2002 bay quarter pony gelding. A beautiful mover with a good eye and great confirmation. He is ground broke and ready to hop on. He'll stand out in the pony ring or make a solid kids pony.
"Take a Chance on Me", aka "Chance" is a 13.1 hand 2004 bay quarter pony gelding. He is the son of "Straw Boss" and "Nova". Super quiet and friendly he will be a nice pony for show or pleasure. You wouldn't be taking a chance if you bought him.
"Nova" is a 10 year old 13.1 hand bay quarter pony
mare. She is the dam of "Take A
Chance On Me". Broke to ride, she has been out to pasture since she foaled.
With a little bit of work she can be a nice riding horse again.

12 YO Reg. Quarter Horse Gelding. 16.1 hands- Blaze, Stockings on hind legs, dark spot in right nostril, roan in flanks and white hair at root of tail. Copper is a QH/TB appendix and a very 'sturdy/buff' horse. Not for beginner riders but he is well broken for riders with some experience. He is a gorgeous color.
12 YO Reg. Quarter Horse mare: 15.3 hands, Dun w/ Star and Dorsal stripe. Dunny can be ridden by anyone, including children. Very gentle and well behaved horse.
8 YO Reg. Thoroughbred mare:16.1 hands. Daisy is a gentle, but not saddle broke, sweetie. She has a large oval star to left in forehead and connected narrow stripe, ending slightly to left between nostrils. She is easy to handle.
5 YO Quarter Horse Gelding: Sarge is a gorgeous light Palomino QH, that I rescued from PMU Foal Adoptions/Canada, in October, 2003. He is not registered with AQHA. He is very shy and is not saddle broke. He does require gentle handling and will need time to get used to a new owner. I adopted both Sarge and his sister, Sugar at the same time when they were just 5 months old. They have never been separated. This is difficult for me to part with him but due to financial circumstances, I have no choice.
