Triangle Horses Available for Adoption
Description: Kaleb came to us thin and with girth sores. He had been used as a weekend trail horse and over ridden and scared. He went to a wonderful young girl who nursed him back to health and worked on his riding. He now is a very trusting easy going mount. Kaleb has been ridden near traffic, cows, goats and dogs and has taken it in stride. He will need an intermediate rider to give him the confidence he needs to continue doing so well.

Duke:
Duke is a currently companion pony. He has not been started under saddle. An experienced adopter may be able to start him. He has great manners on the lead line, but can be hard to catch in a large open area. He had problems with having his feet trimmed in the past, but at this point has worked through them. He gets along well with other horses and may be just the companion for your older or retired horse.

Sabrin:
Sabrin has had some setbacks in her life. She is currently with an excellent trainer, who has been helping her work through them. She has made tremendous progress in the past months. We feel that she is ready for adoption. She will need a confident and experienced handler/ rider who can commit what ever time it takes to be sure they are the right person to be her forever home. She will bond with everyone who takes the time to understand her and work with her. She will only be adopted to someone who can meet with her and her trainer for as long as it takes to get her and her adopter comfortable with her on the ground and in the saddle. Her trainer is willing to work with the right person at no cost until this accomplished. She is the type of horse that will do better as an English/ Hunter riding style. She is a beautiful mover and very willing to please.

Sissy:
Sissy is a sweet mare suitable for an advanced beginner (with an instructor) or intermediate rider. She has a sweet light footed jog and will move out into a hunter-type trot when asked. Her canter is not finished yet but she does know her leads. Sissy crosses water carefully, will ride in traffic (horse or automobile), and crosses ditches. She will also jump low obstacles when asked to do so. She longes ties trailers, and is in general a sweet girl.

Shortcake is a wonderful pony with a gentle nature. She was found running loose in Wake County with injuries consistent with an animal attack on her legs. Local veterinarians at NC State nursed her back to health. She is 100% sound.
A local trainer has started her under saddle and she is now at walk, trot and over cavalletes. She has been taken on the trails and did very well. Shortcake also has been taken to an open show.
This marvelous pony is well suited for an intermediate rider. As her experience grows and training continues, Shortcake will likely be a good beginner's pony.

"Jessica"
Jessica is a sweet mare that is easy to handle and gets along great with other horses. She has very slight stringhalt, but is not limited for riding. Jessica is well trained and was just alittle rusty but is coming along very nicely. She must be ridden in a bitless bridle due to her missing 4 inches of her tongue.

"Bessie"
Bessie is a well trained possibly retired Show horse. Her tail has been set and she is wonderful to tack up and mount. She is continuing work with picking up her feet to be cleaned and trimmed. She would be a great horse for someone looking to show saddlebreds at the local level with possibly younger riders so long as they work with a trainer.
Bessie also currently needs a foster home!

Katie is a 14.1hh 14 year old Paint mare. She has a WONDERFUL disposition and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She is still learning to trust people and therefore requires someone who is willing to take things slow. Her biggest issue is with her feet; in the past she had to be sedated to be trimmed but she has made serious improvements already in that department. I have not had to have my farrier out since I began fostering her but I will post an update after that occurs. Katie is very willing to do what you ask, she often times just doesn't understand. Again I stress how important patience is with her, it doesn't take much for her to lose trust. She gets along great with other horses and does best when turned out with a buddy (its difficult to catch her if she's alone but we're working on that). All in all, Katie is a wonderful horse and would make a great companion animal.

"Buffie"
Buffie is a flashy pony that has been professional trained for 6 months and is doing great! She enjoys trail riding and has done some beginner cart training with the trainer. She is not for a beginner, but only needs a confident owner to continue with her great start. She would be a great pony for a confident, intermediate rider.

Miko had very little handling until he came to the League. He has since become a very sweet boy. He does need continued work with picking his rear feet up and learning to tie. He has been starting in the round pen with free lounging with an eye to getting a saddle on his back. He gets along well in a pasture situation and is very easy to catch. He is in need of a new foster who could hopefully continue working with him.

Mannie is an older gelding who gets along with other horses very well. He will run with the group, but has some lameness while running from an old injury, so he is a companion only. He would need to be fed separately as he eats slowly and doesn't chew hay well but does very well on grass.
