Adoptable Nonies!

This is Missy!! Our first Adoption! She was adopted 6/13/09 at the S.A.F.E Tack and Bake Sale. She went to a great home, and we hope to see great things from her in the future!! Missy is a 11 year old Nony, and has three foals on the ground who are also up for adoption. They are currently in training and doing great!!



Busted!! This is McDuff (Reg. #001), a 6 year old gelding (he was gelded 5/23/09) He is broke to ride, and does best with an loving rider. He neck reins and loves running patterns. I've started him on Dressage and he is excelling at that also. He is really good at getting out, so a strong fence is suggested. We found him in our garden checking out the lettuce. $5.00 Adoption Fee


McDuff and Felicity at the SAFE Tack and Bake Sale. They are both waiting for their forever homes. Felicity (Reg. #002) is a very sweet horse who has just finished up with 90 days of training. She knows it all and although I don't say it very much I would consider her "bombproof." She loves to jump and although we've only worked on 2'6" fences she clears those with at least a foot.

If you are interested in Adoption of one of these Nonies please contact me at wildponybeast@yahoo.com If you are unable to take in a Nony at this time, consider making a donation to S.A.F.E.

Nonies!!

What is a Nony you ask? A Nony is the best horse a person can own! You don't need to feed them, they can sit for years and when you go to ride them again, they won't have forgotten a thing!

"Washington Nonies are a very versatile breed of pony. Their colors and markings vary from pony to pony, but red, green, blue, and pink are the primary colors of the breed. Their height ranges from 9-10 hands high. They excel at anything they try and are exceptionally loyal to their owners. The owners of Nonies are equally exceptional with their support of horses in need! "

Nonies can be adopted throughout the summer. An adoption fee of 5$ is required for a Nony, and they will come with their very own set of registration papers. Nonies that are adopted will be featured on this blog.

The adoption fee for a Nony goes to S.A.F.E. (Save a Forgotten Equine) to help rescue, rehab, and rehome abandoned, abused, and forgotten horses. As a volunteer for S.A.F.E. I've had the chance to visit the farm and meet the horses. They are all amazing, and most of them came to S.A.F.E. on death's doorstep. It's amazing what a group of volunteers can do! Visit www.safehorses.org for information on the horses that your donation directly goes to help.
