Classic Cookie

14 year-old 15 hand Standardbred mare - light leisurely pleasure riding (walking only) for intermediate rider or companion horse

Classic was once in training to be a Standardbred racehorse, but never raced. She was sold and worked as an Amish buggy horse at some point where she suffered a fetlock injury. She ended up with a broker where her fate was uncertain. HRU stepped in to rescue her in December 2023.

Due to her old injury, Classic is suited for light, relaxed walks under saddle with an intermediate rider. She gets a daily Equioxx pill per vet's recommendation. She is a great companion turned out with other horses. Classic is very sweet and a daughter of HRU resident and retired racehorse/broodmare Cool Cookie.

Piper

20 year-old 16.2 hand Thoroughbred mare - companion/pasture pet only

Piper is a Thoroughbred mare who was lovingly surrendered in February 2022 when her long-time owner could no longer care for her due to illness. While her exact recent history is unknown, she may have lived on a property alone for the last several years. Her registered Jockey Club name is Pipe's Perception.

Piper was a lovely riding horse in her past, but due to arthritis from old bilateral apical sesamoid fractures, she is now only pasture sound.

Piper is an alpha mare and good with laid back horses in turnout. She is a smart, spunky and sweet to those she knows and trusts. Piper would do best with an experienced person who can give her decent attention. Like many horses, the way to her heart is through carrots and apples.

Willow

Estimated 20 year-old 11.2 hand pony mare - permanent HRU resident

Willow is an owner surrender who came to HRU in November 2020. She had a large salivary stone in her face removed after coming into our care. Willow needs her mouth emptied by a veterinarian on rare occasion since feed can build up in the pocket.

Due to her ongoing health issues, including seizures, Willow is a permanent resident in need of sponsors.

Cool Cookie

23 year-old 16.1 hand Standardbred mare - permanent HRU resident

Cool Cookie (CC) is a retired Standardbred trotter and former broodmare who has chronic utivitis. She is a permanent HRU resident who makes a good companion to many of our other rescue horses.

Charm

Estimated 31 year-old 9 hand miniature horse - permanent HRU resident

Charm is a senior miniature horse who was lovingly surrendered to HRU due to her owner's illness. She is very sweet and loves children. Due to ongoing founder issues, Charm is a permanent resident of HRU.
