Mystic

Mystic was part of a seizure of 68 neglected horses in Linn County, Iowa in early 2005. When she came to IERN, she was completely wild and had no trust of humans. She has been started on round pen work and is doing beautifully. She is smart and has a very willing spirit, progressing in six weeks to willingly wearing a bridle and saddle. We will begin riding her in late December. She will require a gentle confident handler. Adoption fee $500. Up to date on all shots, deworming and farrier care.

         Traveler

Traveler, a 16-year-old full Arabian gelding, has had the misfortune of being neglected twice within a year. He was part of a seizure of 68 neglected horses in Linn County Iowa in March of 2005. Rehabilitated over the summer, he was adopted to a new home in September 2005. Sadly he was taken back to the original place of neglect and had to fend for himself over the winter. By the time IERN got him back in April of 2006, he was thin and sickly. He is now fat and sassy, but he has special needs. He is missing several teeth so has to be fed Senior Feed at least twice a day. He enjoys being out on pasture. He should also have some hay to supplement his Senior Feed in the winter. His teeth need to be floated every six months and he needs to be separate from the herd during feeding to make sure he has time to eat. Although aged and very protective of his food, Traveler will make a nice pet for someone who is looking to do some light riding. He is calm and quiet and not spooky. He would also make a nice babysitter for the foals. Adoption fee $300.
