Bella
Eagar az

Program Horse at Come Back Ranch

Animal Sanctuary

​

Bella is a 14-year-old welsh mountain pony and is owned by the rescue director. When we got Bella, she was totally shy and unapproachable. Today, she is sweet and desensitized. She is a confident little pony to ride. We use Bella as a lesson and program horse. The kids have fun with her and love her very much. Because of Bella's size, she helps build and regain confidence in our programs if a person is afraid of horses. She is a great stepping stone to working with larger horses. The smaller kids ride her in lessons and for birthday parties.

DakoDa
eagar az

Retiree at Come Back Ranch
Animal Sanctuary

 

Dakoda came from a feedlot in Fallon, Nevada where we outbid the kill buyers who were trying to purchase her for horse meat.  She was a two-year-old appendix (quarter-horse thoroughbred) mare who was wild and feral and extremely shy. She had been hobbled and branded by barbed wire and now has horrific scars. She was untouchable and afraid of halters and ropes. Today, Dakoda is now 7 years old and a fantastic program horse for veterans. We have trained her from the ground up to be completely safe around kids and adults.
