Mojo

IMG_2565.jpg

Mojo came to us in 2008. We are unsure if he ever raced, but he went through training, as he has a tattoo. At some point in his life he was sold to a hunt barn, and became the hunt master’s horse. Each morning he would run the trails to make sure they were safe, before running them again with the other horses. After his hunt career he was going to be retrained, but he was deemed to be too dangerous to ever be a “proper” riding horse. They were going to put him down because of this, but we stepped in and we took him. Before we retired Mojo back in 2015, he was our top lesson horse. He taught so many children how to ride, whether it was a slow walk, or they were learning how to jump, he was always ready. Mojo was one of the first horses to ever come here, and helped to start it all. To this day, Mojo is still a barn favorite, to young and old. Mojo eats about half a bale of hay a day, along with two scoops of grain twice a day.

Zachary

IMG_7253.jpg

Zachary came to us in 2014 from Lee, Massachusetts. He was a showjumper, and he taught showjumping to kids until he was 19. He suffered a career-ending injury to one of his fetlocks while jumping. A woman at the barn he was boarded at knew of our rescue and called us to see if we could take him. If we could not, they were going to put him down. Of course, we said yes! Zach is a big guy with so much energy, but he works so well with children, as he knows how to match their energy. Zach is semi-retired from lessons, as his past career has taken a toll on his joints, and sometimes he can get sore. He spends almost all of his time with his girlfriend, Swan. Zach eats about a half a bale a day, and two scoops of grain twice a day.

Swan River

IMG_6778.jpg

Swan River’s story starts in Kentucky. She was never raced, but had several foals who did. We were told that she has foaled 8 times in her life, and in that time, she was brought to Sharon, CT. Swan did not conceive on their last attempt to breed her. This meant she was no longer valuable as a broodmare. Luckily, they wanted her to go to a loving home because she was one of their favorite mares. When Swan first came to us, we believed that she had never been ridden. As a 14 year old horse, she had to learn everything about riding and ground work, including how to carry the extra weight of a rider. She learned everything so quickly that after just one summer of training and rehabilitation, she was our star lesson horse. She is extremely caring, and she treats all of the children like they are her own. She does all she can to keep her rider safe and balanced on her back. Swan eats about a half a bale a day, and two scoops of grain twice a day.

Bandit

IMG_5707.jpg

Bandit had a rough life before he was rescued. He was a barrel racer, who had a box full of ribbons with his name on them. Unfortunately, these ribbons were not won through hard work and companionship. Instead, he ran out of fear. If he did not compete to he standards of his “owner” she would back him into a stall and beat him. She would also beat him when he would not stand at the mounting block. We were told that he had several broken ribs when he was rescued. We did not rescue Bandit directly from his abuser, another woman took him in and kept him out West, bringing him on trails and helping him heal, mentally and physically. When she could no longer keep Bandit, we took him in. He has made so much progress, and continues to heal from his trauma. It takes him a while to trust new people, but after he knows that no one is going to hurt him, he becomes a different horse. Bandit is only used in lessons for advanced riders, as he is extremely sensitive to pressure, and must be ridden softly. He eats about half a bale a day and eats 1 scoop of grain twice a day.

Finnegan

IMG_1291.JPG

Finn came to us in the year 2014. He was bred and trained to be a racehorse. However, his career was short-lived, as he was sold to a woman when he was just 6. Just like his racing career, this did not take off with Finn, due to him liking to go at his own pace, and do his own thing. Finn prefers to run next to other horses, and refuses to pass them. We can see how this could have ended his racing career. As for barrel racing, he gets extremely bored when he is asked to do the same thing over and over. This results in him standing still and saying “No thank you.” If he is pestered past his limit, he can become violent, and a danger to himself and others. Because of this, Finn is almost strictly a trail horse. There is nothing he loves more than to roam in the forest, splash in the rivers, and gallop across the fields. He came to us with aggression issues, such as biting and charging, especially when food was involved. We believe that at some time in his early life, someone treated him poorly, or tried to train him through fear. Because of this, he developed a fear of humans, which resulted in aggressive behavior. Through countless hours of one on one groundwork he has blossomed into a loving, yet opinionated, horse who eats up attention and affection. He is not a part of our lesson program due to his unpredictable behavior under saddle and on the ground. We ensure he gets out on the trails several times a week. Finny eats one scoop of grain twice a day, along with half a bale a day.

Seamus

IMG_2043.JPG

Seamus came to us back in 2014 from New York State. In Seamus’ younger years, he was a 4H cross-country jumper. At the age of 12 he retired from this career. We believe he was retired because he developed navicular syndrome. This caused him to become lame, especially while jumping. He was bought by an older woman, who wanted to teach her grand children how to ride on him. The grand kids loved him but were intimidated by his size. The woman’s vet told her that he must be kept in a small stall and cannot walk around. When we arrived to get him, he had chewed almost all the way through all of the boards confining him in his small stall. She felt very bad for him, but was doing what her vet told her. She knew he needed to go somewhere where he would get the attention he needed. Now, Seamus gets to live in a big field with all of his friends. He is 100% pasture sound, with countless work with our vet and farrier Seamus is now one of our main lesson horse. He is amazing at ground work, and teaches children how to lead, groom, ride, and care for horses. He is a child favorite, and one of the sweetest horses in the field. Seamus eats a scoop of grain twice a day, and half a bale a day.

Boreal

IMG_2045.jpg

Boreal or as we like to call him, Bo, came to us in 2016. Bo’s life starts with him being born in Germany. He has several freeze brands that tell the story of how he was brought here. Bo was trained up to level 3 in dressage, and they wanted to bring him over to the US to do pony dressage. But Bo was to too tall to do pony dressage in the US, so instead, he did regular dressage. Sadly, Bo was diagnosed with Equine Uveitis. which lead to him needing to have one of his eye’s removed. His worth was no longer seen, as a one eyed horse is not your typical “ribbon winner”. He was put on a trailer to go to an auction in Virginia, but we managed to stop the trailer and bring him here. Bo is slowly going blind in his other eye. As of now he has very limited sight. But he still has a great time being ridden, and he loves to go swimming and gallop in open fields. He has a special bond with the children who ride him, as he relies heavily on his rider to direct him. Bo has an amazing ability to memorize the ground, and it’s obstacles, even when out on the trails. Bo has no depth perception, so when galloping through a field we lean to let him know where the ground changes pitch. Bo quickly picked up on this, and sometimes you forget that you’re riding a horse that is almost completely blind. Boreal does not eat grain as he does not need any. He eats about a bale of hay a day.

Oliver

IMG_2070.jpg

Oliver or Ollie (Originally named Al Lee) as we like to call him, was going to be a show jumper for a teenage girl. He was bought by her parents for $30,000. They were hoping he would take her to the Olympics. Sadly for Ollie, they began jumping him at a young age, along with this they were jumping him over 5 foot jumps. Suddenly, Ollie began bucking violently, and his owner grew fearful of him. They brought a vet out and he was diagnosed with navicular syndrome. Because he was considered dangerous to ride, and could no longer jump, he needed a home. We took him in immediately, and fell in love with his “golden retriever” like personality. Ollie is on anti inflammatory medication. He has not been ridden in a little over a year due to flareups of pain in his hooves. Even if Ollie can never be ridden, he will always have a forever home at the Time Out Foundation. He is incredibly sweet, and is always the first horse to meet you at the fence. He will do anything for a treat, and his favorite time of the day is when it’s time to eat. Ollie eats about a bale of hay a day and no grain as he does not need any.

Madrid


Madrid came to us in November, 2018, Madrid was a friend of the farm’s horse. Madrid was to high strung for their program, so we gave them a horse we had, named Falcon, due to him being so calm and mellow. It was a perfect fit for him. in return she gave us Madrid. He is a flashy little guy who loves to dance around with his tail high. He is full of sass, and quickly found his way to the middle ranks in the herd. Madrid is working his way up to being one of our lesson horses for beginners. As of right now though, he is a intermediate and advanced lesson horse. Soon he will be guiding your kids with care and show them how beautiful and gentle horses can be. Madrid eats about a bale of hay a day and eats no grain as he doesn’t need any

Katy

Katy came to us in November, 2020, She was a race horse and raced from 2015-2017 and won roughly over $18,000. At some point after her racing career had ended she was sold to a woman that kept her in someone’s backyard. Eventually the woman who had owned her stop showing up to feed her. Madison animal control got involved as Katy was very underweight, they soon seized her from that property. Katy found a nice soft landing at a local barn in Madison, CT. They took the best care of her! She gained weight, muscle, and most importantly she didn’t have to worry about when her next meal would be. After months of rehab and some retraining in riding they were looking to rehome Katy. The first person who came out to try Katy loved her! She did a vet exam on Katy that found Katy has arthritis in her left front knee. Katy has been looked at by many different vets and has been cleared for flat work and light jumping! After finding out Katy has arthritis the barn owner was having a hard time rehoming Katy. We were contacted by the barn owner asking if she could donate Katy to our program as she thought Katy would make an amazing therapy horse! We said absolutely as we had room for another horse! After a couple of days we soon made the over an hour trip to pick up Katy. When she walked off the trailer to her new forever home she acted as she’s been here for her whole life! Katy has not only made an amazing therapy horse but is also a amazing lesson horse!

Donkey


This is our sweet donkey. Donkey has not always had the best of life, when he was young he was put out in a huge field and was forgotten about. Donkey is very skittish and when you do fast movement around him he will bolt away, even though we have worked with Donkey for many years he is still sometimes scared when you go up to pet him. But when he is on a halter he loves to be brushed and loved on. When you see Donkey he is never too far away from Mojo, his best friend, his partner in crime. Donkey eats about a bale of hay a day and eats no grain as he doesn’t need any
