Tbar Heaven 2012

Posted on December 31, 2012August 23, 2021 by Melanie DeAeth

Anya, Lila, Lana and Nikolai
Anya, Lila, Lana and Nikolai were dumped on a back road in Anderson, TX and were lucky enough to be found by a TBAR foster home. They lived for one wonderful month in a loving foster home after testing positive for FeLv but not showing symptoms yet. A confirmatory lab test had been sent to New Jersey before they began to show symptoms. Once the symptoms set in, their quality of life went downhill quickly so their foster mom agreed with the vet that it was time to help them cross over the Rainbow Bridge peacefully.

Blanca
Blanca came into TBAR very skinny, but was rehabbed and found love and TLC until she passed from old age

Chester
Chester was found by a TBar member, running along a busy street. He was emaciated and seemed to have been hit by a car. Chester enjoyed love, running free in a safe backyard and lots of food while awaiting amputation of his nerve-damaged leg. Unfortunately, he died during amputation surgery. RIP Chester.

Omega
The last horse rescued from a 57 horse seizure, Omega touched every person who met him. He was a majestic, noble creature and has left indelible hoof prints on everyone who loved him. Omega was lost to colic-twist in June.

Tripp

Tripp came to TBAR dragging a chain with a collar way too tight and heartworm positive. He healed beautifully and was loved deeply by his foster home. After only 1 short year, he left this Earth suddenly & unexpectedly. His good nature and love of life touched many people. RIP Tripp!

Warrior
Warrior came into TBAR so skinny, but grew into a beautiful, white Arabian. He was loved dearly by many and left this world too soon from a sudden illness.

Licorice was seized along with 19 pasture mates when his owner could no longer care for him. Like his pasture mates Licorice, or Proud Pusher, was thin but he also had a severe case of Uveitis or Moon Blindness. This condition caused him pain and the only solution would have been to remove his eyes leaving him completely blind. We decided that was not a quality life for this magnificent horse so we helped him cross the rainbow bridge. We will always remember him in this lush pasture eating to his hearts content before it was time to cross. He is now at peace with his father The Pusher CG

This little donkey was one of 19 that were removed from their owner because she could no longer care for them. His little body was all bones and his mother was dried and unable to provide him proper nutrition either. We fed him milk and feed in an attempt to get him to gain weight and recover. In a final attempt to save his life the vet tubed milk into him but he continued to decline and eventually passed away. This picture was taken while he still had the strength to stand and we’ll always remember him enjoying some grass and some peace before he crossed the rainbow bridge.

Name: Chicklett

Breed: Paint/Pinto Gender: Female Age: Young Status: Adopted Description: Paint filly, halter broke, leads, stands tied, loads in trailer..LOVES to be scratched and petted.

Band Aid was born to Boo Boo shortly after arriving at her True Blue Animal Rescue foster home in 2010. Now approximately 1 year old, she would love to find a forever home along with her mama. By nature, mini donks are sweet, gentle, playful, and love human attention. They are easy keepers, get along with other animals, and are fun to have around.

WinsBlack Fury is a 3 yr old Welsh/Shetland pony gelding.

Boo Boo Boo Boo was rescued along with 15 other mini donkeys when the Sheriff’s department found them wandering the streets. Shortly after arriving at her True Blue Animal Rescue foster home, she gave birth to a baby girl named Band Aid (Spring 2010). By nature, mini donks are sweet, gentle, playful, and love human attention. They are easy keepers, get along with other animals, and are fun to have around. They would love to be adopted together if possible. She is used to being handled and being led with halter or rope.

Buffy Buffy was found estray and when no owner came forward she was awarded to T-Bar. Buffy is a young horse who is halter-broke and aready to train.

Cabernet Beautiful young paint filly from seizure of 27 badly malnourished horses including pregnant mares in Wood County.

Cappuccino is enjoying being ridden by his foster family including the children. He does great on trails and is an all-around great horse.

Clark TBAR was awarded 15 neglected Tennessee Walkers on 2/27/2012. Foster homes are needed to rehabilitate these horses and/or adoptive homes. All the horses are easy to handle and respectful.

This is Clark

Stunning Paint Tennessee Walker

One of two horses found estray. When no owner came forth, they were turned over to TBar.

Comanche

Delta One of 8 neglected horses awarded to True Blue Animal Rescue by Burnett County judge. This mare lost one eye at some time, but is totally healthy.

This is Delta

Dream Catcher When Dreamcatcher first came to TBAR he was so skinny his knees wobbled. Currently, DreamCatcher’s foster home reports that he has put on ALOT of weight, and that his top line has filled out nicely. He has a bit of a “hay belly” and no chest or butt yet, but nothing a little more exercise can’t cure. He leads well, is good for the farrier, and is doing well lunging in the round pen. He also enjoys a good bath, and loves attention. We haven’t tied him yet, we realized today, but we will try it out. He is still a little wary around strangers at first, but warms up quickly. We plan to pony him a little this weekend, see how he does with a group, in a new setting and how his feet hold up. They appear to be good and hard, but his heels were short and are growing out now.

Fancy is a yearling filly, halter broke

Gypsie Gypsy was an estray and when no owner claimed her, she was awarded to TBAR. She is now healthy and ready for adoption. Gypsy was ridden previously and just needs a refresher.

Hemmingway was wandering estray in a neighborhood and was extremely skinny. The authorities looked for an owner and when no one came forth to claim him, TBAR was awarded Hemmingway. This older, 25 yr old horse is skin and bones but has already put on weight in his short time with TBar. Slowly and surely, Hemmingway will be restored to full health. His long white mane goes down to his shoulder and he has a wonderful, engaging personality. He loves cookies!

This young filly is learning what it means to have the type of care where she can trust in humans. She is now looking for her own family with which she can form a special bond.

One of 27 malnourished horses seized in Wood County, she is now healthy and ready for adoption.

Ireland

Katy Katy is a full Medicine Hat Paint with two blue eyes. Her foster home reports that she is very calm and rides well. She loves to be groomed and deserves a special rider who will keep a fly mask on her during the day light hour.

Katy was one of 5 neglected horses. She was very skinny when she came to TBAR, but is now healthy and ready for adoption.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Layla is now available for adoption, as her foal Magic has been weaned.

Nougat Nougat

TBAR was awarded 15 neglected Tennessee Walkers on 2/27/2012. Foster homes are needed to rehabilitate these horses and/or adoptive homes. All the horses are easy to handle and respectful. These photos do not accurately reflect the actual body condition of the horses – they are all skinnier. Accepting applications for foster/adopt NOW. Go to www.t-bar.org for application. Donations of hay, feed, money welcomed and appreciated!

Pricilla had a broken front leg just over a year ago. Her leg was not set and is slightly crooked. She is a companion only, although she runs and plays in the pasture without any difficulty. She is timid with other horses and is fine with dogs, cats, donkeys and goats. She is great with people and loves kids.

TBar’s Red Cloud is Four years old and ready for training.

Approx 12 year old Mare. Mom to #11. Very sweet and leads with just your hand.

Steve Steve was seized as a 4 year old stallion in late 2006 – at the time he was wild and untouched. At his first (and only) foster home he was gentled, castrated, and put into ground-work training – a couple months later he was started under saddle at a Ray Hunt clinic, and went on to be a great versatile trail mount, winning 2 competitive trail competitions in 2007. The rider went on to interests outside of trail riding with other horses, and Steve has basically been turned out on pasture for the past 3 years. He has excellent ground manners, wonderful feet (never worn shoes), is an exceptionally “easy keeper” (never fed grain, and always fat) – he has a stocky build, very correct conformation, and good bones – he has never had a lameness issue and held up to heavy daily riding. He is a fast learner and quick to please. The next home for Steve requires a handler/rider that is smart, consistent, and capable.

Storm was born a few months after his Mom was rescued from a starvation situation along with 26 other horses. Little Storm is available for adoption along with his mom.

Terra Terra was awarded to TBAR in a neglect/cruelty case. She has put on significant weight and is now ready to be adopted as a companion animal. She is a sweet mare that would look beautiful in your pasture. She would be a perfect companion for a young family or older person.

Tobi

One of 8 neglected horses awarded to True Blue Animal Rescue by Burnett County judge. Healthy and ready to be trained under saddle.

Twighlight Twilight was awarded to TBAR as part of the Wood County seizure and resulting court case. He is rideable and would make a nice riding horse for a woman or small man, as he’s short and stout.

Wendy Wood Co. Wendy

This Black and white mare gave birth to a blk & wht paint filly a few weeks after her rescue.

Wood Co 3 Wood Co mare # 3 is a 10 yr old mare has a paint stud colt baby.

Wood Co Mare This mare is blind in one eye. She has a new, sorrel stud colt baby, born after her rescue.

Emu Emu’s mother was seized in the Wood County neglect case. She was starved, but giving everything she had to her baby. Two months of good food & care later, a healthy baby boy was born! Emu and his mom have been adopted by their foster family. They will never know hunger again!

Posted on December 31, 2011August 23, 2021 by Melanie DeAeth

Bree
One of the Hopkins County horses, Bree was adopted and loved by TBar’s Abuse/Neglect Coordinator. Her first horse since childhood, it was love at first sight. Unfortunately, Bree left our world way too soon from severe colic. God has a beautiful, spirited girl by his side now.
You are missed, Bree!

Dr Livingston – TBar D061
Cancer claimed our sweet Dr Livingston at only 6 years old. But he had a good life and new love.

Seminole Winds (Semi)
Semi came into TBar severely emaciated, but was restored to full health and had a glorious 2 years of love with TBar’s Ralph and Loretta Pinnell before leaving us.

Hope
At the time, Hope was one of the worst neglect cases TBar had ever dealt with. Hope fought to live and became a happy, healthy girl. She was loved by her foster home and died peacefully in her late 20s.

JJ (Jurassk)
35 years young, JJ had 5 wonderful years in his foster/retirement home before he left this Earth. He leaves behind his buddy & companion, Moriah, and many who loved him. Thank you to Joy Hamaker for sponsoring JJ all these years!

FRESCA – TBar D435
Poor Fresca was so scared in this world – terrified to the point of being aggressive. Over and over again, we reached out with love, but Fresca was too scared. Now she is happy and unafraid in TBar Heaven. We are sad that we could not help Fresca.

Lilly
A sweet mare from the Hopkins County seizure, Lilly new lots of TLC in her final years. Medicine nor prayers could cure the impaction colic and the difficult decision was made to send Lilly over the rainbow bridge. Loved and not forgotten.

Saved from starving, loved and cared for by her foster Mom. She will be missed.

Midnight
After outliving his prognosis by 3 years, Midnight’s body finally succumbed to terminal melanoma. He passed peacefully and deeply loved.

Moriah
TBAR’s unicorn horse, gently left this world at 36 years of age. He was loved by many, including his foster mom of 6 years. His graceful, elegant presence will be greatly missed. Thank you to Joy Hamaker for sponsoring Moriah all these years!

Sugar (BlueJeans)
A senior mare from the Hopkins County seizure, Sugar was adored by her foster family. With them, she was fat and happy. Cancer took Sugar from us physically, but not from our hearts.

Geronimo has been ridden in the past, but has been out to pasture for awhile, so will need a refresher course. He requires an intermediate to experienced rider. At his current foster home he is in a herd of miniature horses and donkeys and gets along fine with them. He in fact acts like the daddy. He will wait to be put up until he is sure that all the little ones are snug and warm in their beds for the night. He has good ground manners, but you might have to remind him to pay attention to you. When he is in a new situation, he likes to look around before you can get his attention. He is laid back under halter, easy to catch if you do not show him the halter but run your hand up his neck with the rope. Once you put the rope around his neck, he will lower his head for the halter. Once he has been retrained or refreshed, he will make a great trail horse or anything his adopter would like to do with him. He is stocky, agile and beautiful. Showing the grace of his breed Granny, Sassy and the donkey Tonto were rescued together. Granny was extremely emaciated and was still nursing her 3 year old baby, Sassy. Granny is now healthy and at her ideal weight. She is ready for adoption. Izzy was a Texas A & M polo pony. She fractured her cannon bone and although she is healed and isn’t lame, she cannot be used for polo anymore. She’d make a great kids lead line or walk only horse. She’s well trained and very sweet. As you can see she’s very tall!

Billi – TBar D396

Black Beauty
We didn’t get the chance to save her, just end her suffering. She’s running free, healthy and pain free now.

Denny – H171
Denny coliced and couldn’t recover

Chiquita – TBarD423
Little Chiquita wasn’t with us for very long.She was very much loved and she crossed over with tears falling on her. She was only 5 yrs old but had severe seizures that would not respond to medication.

Freedom – H144
Rest easy our sweet, senior girl!

Ginger
Loved by her forever home!

Image
29 yr old Quarterhorse, a winning barrel horse in her younger years, victim of neglect. Image fought hard to live and made it! She knew lots of love and TLC in her foster home. Image has been an ambassador and representative for all neglected, starved horses.

Jasmine – TBar D236

Jessi – D264

Katie – TBarD123
Katie just showed up at TBar one day, all skin and bones. An angel must have guided her steps to the place where she could find refuge and food. You can tell from her body that this poor girl has seen better times, but that hasn’t diminished her loving attitude and fun-loving spirit. Katie had a wonderful retirement and lots of love in her golden years. In the end, she was held in loving arms and peacefully crossed over.

Koda
Koda was loved dearly by her foster Mom, but could not overcome the severe starvation. Gone too soon for such a young soul!

Lady T-Bar
25 yr old Arabian, a winning show horse in her younger years, victim of neglect. Knew lots of love and TLC in her foster home. Crossed over peacefully, but too soon for those who loved her.

Max – TBar D342

aka Bob the Builder
Came into TBar as an abuse case, shot with an arrow. Sweet, loveable dog. Crossed over from congestive heart failure. Now he’s digging holes in heaven.

Blanca was donated to TBAR significantly underweight. She measures a ‘1’ on the Henneke Scale used to rate body condition. The scale goes from 1 to 9. She is the least skinny of the three, although this picture doesn’t show just how skinny she is. Captain, Dolly and Blanca were all rideable, kid-broke, gentle horses before being neglected.Update: April 14, 2008: Blanca has put on a lot of weight and is looking better every day. Thanks to your support, she is getting the care and feed he needs to get back to health!

Update August 2008: Blanca has a girl of her very own now!

Brooke had a bright future. A young, foundation quarter horse filly, with beautiful sorrel coloring; part of a herd of mares and watched over by several stallions – she had her whole life ahead of her. But then the nightmare began. The grass was gone, the grain was gone, the hay was gone – for a long time. Brooke watched sadly as some of her fellow horses and cows died from lack of food. Only the strongest would survive. The old and the young were the most at risk; and she was one of them. One day, several people with badges came and brought food. It felt good to have a full belly again, even though it would be a long road for Brooke’s body to look healthy again. With the help of a lot caring people – some with badges, some who rescue horses – Brooke came to True Blue Animal Rescue. Now, at only 2.5-3 years old, Brooke has a bright future again. She’s halter broke, willing to trust, and ready to start under saddle. She would make a beautiful addition to your stable.

ADOPTED – Thank You!		Location: Brenham
Description: Riverdancer has had lots of groundwork and been ridden some with an experienced English rider. She is the alpha mare in the pasture Riverdancer is cautious around people at first, but warms up and is then very sweet. She needs an experienced rider and will do great with children with some more training..

ADOPTED – Thank You!		Location: Washington
Description: Rosey’s life had taken a dire turn; and she didn’t know how much longer she could go on. She and 3 other horses shared a small pasture in the country that had long since run out of grass. Water was scarce, and there was no cover from the winter weather. When the owner did bring some food, Rosey and the 2 other horses let the baby horse eat first. Then the older boy horse, Chief, let the two girls – Rosey and Duchess – eat next; but it showed. He was skin and bones. Thankfully, the authorities seized Rosey and the other horses; and the court awarded them to True Blue Animal Rescue where they could be rehabilitated. Rosey is halter-broke, has fabulous ground manners and is probably rideable. A beautiful, 10 year old strawberry roan, Rosey is healthy again and ready for a loving, forever home.

Fast forwarding to the present, True Blue has grown up into a beautiful three year old ready to start under saddle. She has deep brown, soft eyes that show her gentle, loving character.

Tbar Heaven 2008

Posted on December 31, 2008August 23, 2021 by Melanie DeAeth

Benji
Found sitting on the Galveston seawall in the midst of a cold sandstorm, Benji was rescued and discovered to be completely blind. He was the sweetest elderly dog; and knew lots of love and TLC in his foster home. He was called to Heaven too soon.

Cubby
Beloved family pet

Curtis
Lost but not forgotten

Tuscany
We gave him everything we had: food, love, veterinary care, and prayers; but in the end, we couldn’t save Tuscany from severe starvation.

Thursday, July 24th – TBAR (Melanie and Dale) went out to meet the vet and check out this horse after a lady called TBAR and told us he was losing weight and she couldn’t afford to feed him anymore. TBAR ended up making an emergency decision and taking Tuscany into our rescue on the spot. He is beyond skinny. He is a walking skeleton. He is a 0.5 on the Henneke Body Scoring. We named him Tuscany. We named him that because we know he will live up to the name when he fills out and becomes the beautiful horse he once was. He’s in his early 20’s which means he is not extremely old for a horse. Today horses live well into their 30’s. There is no reason for this guy to be this thin except that he didn’t have enough food.

When Dale and I went out to see him after a phone call from the owner telling us that she can’t afford to feed him and begging us to take him we were stunned by what we saw. There was some poor quality grain but no hay for this guy to eat but his eyes were bright and he looked at us with hope. Enough said, so we went back and picked up the trailer and took him home. He’s eating senior feed four times a day with plenty of hay so we expect him to come around and start gaining weight quickly.

August 13th – Sadly, Tuscany lost his battle to recover from severe starvation; and passed away this morning, unable to rise. In the end, he was ready to go and we helped him cross over. Our hearts are broken, not being able to save this magnificent Soul. He is not suffering any more.

THANK YOU to all Tuscany’s supporters!!

For the last 3 weeks, Tuscany knew love and care from humans. He was honored as the brave, courageous Spirit that he was. And had plenty of food (in small, frequent quantities), shelter, warmth and tender loving care. Please light a candle for Tuscany. Say hello to Chief, Toot, Chai and the other TBar horses in heaven, Tuscany. Tell them we miss them and look forward to seeing them again some day.

Princess
We don’t know why you were taken from us, but we’re comforted knowing you were loved so much before you left.

Jasper
Now you’re finally at peace
and know no fear.

Marcus

Possum
We’re glad you knew love and a full belly before you left us, Possum.

Cooper
Even though he’d had 2 booster shots, Cooper was lost to an unexpected case of Parvo. Gone too young.

Buddy
Passed peacefully in his sleep of old age. At 17 yrs, Buddy had a good life.

Tbar Heaven 2007

Posted on December 31, 2007August 23, 2021 by Melanie DeAeth

Blinn

Chief
Chief was seized with 2 other horses for severe neglect. He was all bones and could not stand, even with lots of people helping. TBAR spent the night in the pasture with Chief, hoping he would be able rise in the morning. But his weakened body could not recover. Now Chief is at Peace with all the food he can eat and lots of love. He will never suffer again.

Cowboy
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to save them, it’s an animal’s time to go. Such was the case with Cowboy. Rescued from neglect, we’re thankful he new love, care and happiness in the end. Our hearts are heavy that he left us so soon.

Daisy – TBar #H085
This pony suffered from moon blindness, but found love and healing at her foster home. Daisy passed over the Rainbow Bridge from a sudden, severe case of colic. Now she can see again.

Kerfuffle – TBar D176

Lil Bit and Big Ben
Lil Bit was so tiny, even for a mini, and Big Ben was so big. And yet they were best friends. They were the favorites of visitors to TBAR and will be deeply missed. They passed within months of each other. Lil Bit died suddenly as can happen with tiny minis. Big Ben was older and died peacefully while fighting a serious illness.

Sadie – TBar #D246
Sadie knew it was her time, so she laid down by her pups, Jasmine and Marcus and went to sleep. We’re comforted that she knew lots of love in the end.

Speckles – TBar D220

Victoria – TBar #H047
This graceful, elderly lady was rescued from the auction house and lived out her last years with lots of love and care. She was featured in ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

Toot – TBar #H090
Toot was seized by law enforcement and was severely starved. TBAR and the vets did everything they could to save Toot, but his poor body couldn’t come back. It broke our hearts to see such a young horse suffer so; and his story still pains us. At least now he is at Peace with all the food he can eat and lots of love.
