Meet the Animals of Bluemont

Roxy, born in 2001, is a majestic imported Hanoverian standing at 17.3hh. This beauty had an incredible show career and found herself in need of retirement. She’s the lead mare and heart of our sanctuary as our very first rescue. 

Viva is an Oldenburg that was imported to compete in the show world. Her owner turned her over to our sanctuary at 19 yrs old when her injuries prevented her from riding. Viva now spends her days flirting with our geldings and getting fat on hay. 

Tess is 15 year old thoroughbred who never raced. Contessa endured a tragic accident at a horse show where she broke her back and found herself in need of sanctuary. She’s the fastest and spookiest horse in our pastures. 

Sparkys quirky personality and sunny disposition are contagious. This 15 year old Arabian cross served humans for years and found himself in need of sanctuary due to severe back pain. 

Moses is everyone’s favorite and rightfully so. He was a working Amish draft mule who after 24 years of service found himself in a killpen. Moses could be confused with the abominable snow man if it wasn’t for his consistent rolls in the dirt. 

Felora is a 23 year old imported Irish sport horse. After years of serving humans, especially children she found herself with a neurological disorder. She spends her days glued to her best friend Tess’ side. 

Xenas heartbreaking story starts on a ranch in Texas where she lived as an unhandled broodmare. Xena landed in a killpen with her beautiful foal who was ripped from her side. At Bluemont Xena is learning that humans can have a loving hand. 

Eva is a 12 year old fiery chestnut mini. She was a broodmare for the Amish and was discarded at an auction.  What Eva lacks in size she makes up for in sass. 

Gideon is a full color Appaloosa mini. We found him languishing in a killpen because he was a stud and had been used for breeding. This adorable boy is as sweet as they come and is now a chunky gelding at our farm. 

This mini Casanova could moonlight as a muppet or the most handsome stallion on earth. Charlie’s previous owner dumped him in a killpen where he developed a life threatening condition due to severe starvation. Charlie is now healed and happy here at our sanctuary. 

This girl is the cutest doe eyed mini donkey you’ll ever meet. Charlotte was used for breeding and then discarded. She came to us with her son Taz who she has a very close bond with. She’s the best Mama bear on earth. 

Handsome, goofy and loyal describe this 6 year old chestnut Dutch harness horse. Flat feet and a lack of speed took him from an Amish buggy to a killpen. Today he romances all the ladies especially Roxy.

Roseanne is a 16 year old imported Irish Draft Sport horse that came from a hoarding case. This queen bee is over 16hh of pure boss mare. She’s very bonded with Moses and would protect him with her life. 

This boy is part wild child and cuddle bug all wrapped up in an adorable donkey package. He loves his Mama and lives for all the scratches and treats. 

Dixon came to us from a kill pen extremely ill. We nursed him back to health for months and in the process earned his trust. Most days you can find him peering over the Dutch doors in the barn and gossiping with the girls. 

We saw Gemma in a Killpen with her baby Jax and knew we had to step up and help them. Now, she loves to spend her days eating hay with her boyfriend Mason and spending time with her son Jax. 

This young studmuffin is very likely to run up and give you a hug but he has to stop zooming through the paddock first.  Jax’s goofy ears and fun loving personality has made him a crowd favorite here. 

Mason was in the same pen as Gemma and Jax and we couldn’t leave him behind. He’s completely smitten with Gemma and loves Jax. He’s still learning to trust humans but is a very gentle soul. 

This handsome boy came to us with Hazel from a killpen in TX. He’s young and fun but also a gentleman. He loves Hazel with his whole heart but frolics with the boys frequently. 

Hazel came to us already pregnant from a killpen in TX. When she delivered she had to be hospitalized due to severe complications. She’s home now and working on her recovery with her baby Rue. 

Rue was born at Bluemont after we saved her Mama Hazel who came to us l pregnant. She’s an adorable and spirited mini mule.  She keeps us laughing with her antics. 

Juna is the cutest chunkiest palomino mini you will ever meet. She has a similar story to her best friend Eva. Juna’s personality ranges from feral mini to loving dumpling.
