Two Horses Found Loose off Turner Creek Road

Update:  Raja (formerly known as Red) is a 6 year old registered Saddlebred with champion bloodlines.  He started out to be a senior project for a nice young lady, and after being sold a time or two ended up in the hands of a selfish person who though her only option for this horse that she could not sell and make a buck on was to take him out into the woods and dump him.  Thanks to one VERY BRAVE young lady who recognized the horse, the person that dumped him and his buddy Cherokee got to spend the night in jail and is now facing the consequences of her actions.  Raja is a NICE HORSE, there is NOTHING wrong with him other than he ended up in the wrong hands.  He is not broke to ride but he is very gentle and I am starting him under saddle as soon as he gets up to a healthy weight.  Raja is up for adoption for a $200.00 adoption fee.

These two horses were found wandering loose 3 weeks ago outside of Yamhill, Oregon above Pike Road. They are both pretty thin and have long feet but appear to be otherwise healthy and gentle. After the Oregon Statute required 4 week period they will be available for adoption.

I am guessing that they are both broke to ride as they both have white hair scars from poor fitting saddles and cinch galls.  Before they are adopted I will of course check them both out in the arena and out on the trail so I can give some sort of idea as to their training.

This is a nice tall horse I'm guessing 15.2 hands, his head and croup shape hint around that he might have some pleasure type breeding in him.  He always carries his tail up and off to the side so before adoption he will be check out by the vet to make sure he doesn't have a back or hip injury that will prevent him from being sound.  He is a sweet, friendly horse and gets pushed around a bit by the bay.  He cribbed when he was in the arena but since I have moved him into an outside pen I have not seen him crib.





This guy has a petite build, I'm guess he is a quarter horse/arab mix maybe and about 14.2 hands.  He bosses the other horse around at feeding time but since they have been here with regular feedings for three weeks that has subsided quite a bit.
