Shonto
My name is Shonto. I am 6-8 months old . I was rounded up from reservation land with several other young horses and ended up in a kill pen in Florence. I had only a few days before being shipped to a slaughterhouse in Mexico. Luckily, several rescues stepped in to say -NOT TODAY! All the babies were saved, and I ended up here at Jewels of the Desert. I will need some good groceries and lots of time, and patience because I am not yet used to being around humans, but I know I will get that here! I will also need to be gelded and in need of a good hoof trim. Eventually, I will be looking for my Forever Home, but for now I’ll be working on trusting humans and growing big and strong. If you would like to help me along on my journey, please consider sponsoring me with a one-time or a monthly donation.

(Bonded Pair)
Penelope (Belgian Draft)And Star(Standardbred) have had a rough Journey but had one another alongthe way ! These girls are a bail from FountianHills Killpen in Arkansas . Star really is connected to Penelope but both these gals are very sweet girls so bringing star out to hangout with us while we need to get something done for Penelope isn't really a issue . Penelope has foundered in her front right foot and wears a corrective shoe she is front shod and told to be 16 years old , she had a tooth root abcess so one of her molars had to be pulled and one more is questionable . Star would need to be as a companion her body conformation is very used and abused she is a 18 year old Standardbred.
