Chez Chevaux Adoptable Animals

  • Solstice - Adoption Fee $1000

    Solstice is a young wild caught gelding. He is estimated to be 4 years old, and about 14.2 hh. Solstice has been working on his groundwork and handling skills, and has become a very nice gentleman to work with. He would make a good first project horse for a confident intermediate teen with a Trainer’s support, or an adult. He can go any direction with no restrictions. He does have a scar from an aggressive stye on his lower eyelid, but it is purely cosmetic. He will continue to have his feet handled and worked with and groundwork and ground driving refined for however long he is here with us. This goofy sweet guy really wants to connect and have his own person!

    Mr.Darcy- Adoption Fee $5000

    Mr.Darcy earned his name by being tall, dark, handsome, quiet, and a real Gentleman! He came to us at the same time as Solstice, also from the Kill Pen. He was severely malnourished, and it was touch and go there for a while, but we are so happy he pulled through!

    Our best guess is that he is a Thoroughbred, though he is not chipped or tattooed so he likely never raced. He is about 17hh, and mid teens. Mr Darcy has joined our lesson program and will stay a part of it until he is adopted out. He tries very hard to do whatever his human wants, be they tiny or big, and is gentle enough that we entrust him with the safety of our youngest riders. He is a forward ride and would love to have a job. He is content with teaching lessons, and would be a wonderful addition to any program. He has no known major health issues at this time, pending a new vet check now that he has made it through his recovery. He will still need to build up his topline, but should be able to do just about anything. He is an exemplary citizen on trails and has participated in a schooling show. Is Mr. Darcy the one you’ve been looking for?

    Coming Soon- D'artagnan- Adoption Fee 1200

    More info coming soon! D’artagnan is a two year old Aztecca colt coming available pending a vet assessment for gelding. He will need a very experience person to bring him along through his terrible twos as he turns into a threenager. He is smart and sensitive and wants to connect, but still has some naughty baby behavior that warrants an experienced hand. He would be stunning in the dressage ring, or doing just about anything!

  • Coming Soon- Celestia- Adoption Fee 800 (or 1200/pair)

    This sweet little 12 hand hackney mare is a real diamond in the rough! Celestia was pulled from a kill pen after her whole herd was sold through auction. Most of the ponies made it to safety thanks to the efforts of our rescue network, but she and her colt, Shining Armor, were left behind. Celestia has done a lot of work on coming out of her shell and learning to trust people. She is still working on her groundwork and being consistent about her feet being handled, but she has come so very far, and we are very proud of this once wild pony. Due to her history and current training level, Celestia is not currently appropriate for a child. She would make an incredible in hand, liberty, or driving partner. She is a kind and patient mare, so it is possible that someday in the future she could be a good partner for a child to ride.

  • Coming Soon- Luna- Adoption Fee 800 (or 1200/pair)

    Luna, like Celestia, is about 12 hh and a hackney pony. It is likely that she and Celestia are at least half sisters. Luna is more standoffish and wary of people. It has taken her a long time to warm up at all and allow contact. She is going to need a lot of slow, patient interactions to continue to reinforce positive connections with people. Ultimately she would make an excellent driving partner or in hand partner for an adult. Due to her history and personality, we do not believe she will ever be a good fit for a child as a riding pony. Luna would do best in a home that has experience with babies, as she is also currently pregnant!

  • Coming Soon- Princess Cadence- Adoption Fee 800

    Cadence is a spicy little filly who loves to play! Her antics keep us entertained all day! This little girl went from being very wary and unpredictable to downright sociable fairly quickly with a kind and gentle approach. She loves to learn! She would make an amazing in hand partner while she grows, and may be a good fit as a riding pony once she is older as she faces new things with bravery! Princess Cadence is working on leading in new environments, working with enrichment items, desensitizing, and working with her feet being handled more consistently. She should have no restrictions as an adult.

  • Coming Soon- Mama

    Mama is a mid teens quarter horse mare who has had some seriously rough handling in her past. She is slow to accept contact, and slower to accept trust. Mama could make the most loyal of partners for the right person to get her going under saddle again, or she would be happy as a beloved pasture puff.

  • Pending Adoption- Reggie

    This handsome mule is full of sass and beans- and we like him that way! This smart boy will need a mule knowledgeable person, or somebody willing to rapidly learn their ways. He is strong, independent, and he doesn’t need a silly human….but scratches and treats and snuggles are so nice! With time and consistent boundaries, Reggie should make an exemplary mule partner for a knowledgeable human!
