Missouri Forget-Me-Not Horse Rescue and Sanctuary

I was only 7 years old when I was surrendered on 12/14/2014 to the rescue. Unfortunately, I had been through a lot in those short years and was very thin. My hooves were VERY long and my body just looked rough. They noticed right away that I was NOT very social either. The folks here are great and had a trainer work with me for a while in 2017. I learned a little more trust and have been working on that even more since being at the sanctuary. I really am a good guy and want to get to know people better, so come out and volunteer or sponsor me so I can get to know you!

What a lucky gelding I am..... I was only 1 year old when a concerned citizen saw me & filed a report. I arrived at MFMN on 5/4/2016. I had a body score of only 1, emaciated and not cared for. Most likely because of the unfortunate pigeon toe defect of my front leg. I have grown up with the loving care surrounding me here and have lots of friends that do NOT see my deformity. I am sweet & love attention, so come visit me soon!

Beauty is a 17 year old Quarter horse used as a brood mare and never broke to ride. She is a little stand offish in the herd but a pleasure to look at. She will live out the rest of her life here with her friends.

Apple is a 19 yr old mare that is totally blind. She came to rescue in June 2021. She was abandoned with Jen-Jen when house sold and prior owners never came back for them. She loves attention and grooming.

Hera is a 25 year old Quarter that arrived in 2021 due to animal seizure from a neighboring county. She is tightly bonded with Penelope who came in with her.

Ginger is a 27 year old Mustang that came to the rescue in 2019 when her previous owner had trouble keeping weight on her. A dental exam showed she has no teeth that match up enough to chew hay. She is impatient when it comes to meals and will bang on the stall gate until dinner is served.

Fancy is a 21 year old American Saddlebred that has been at the rescue since 2014. She has lameness so can't be ridden but she enjoys running around the pasture with her friends Frosty and Sapa.

Dusty is a 21 year old Tennessee Walker gelding. He trots everywhere he goes and is a real "ladies" man. He needs a lot of grain each day but will always get it here at the rescue.

Coco is a 31 year old Quarter horse mare that came to the rescue in 2020 when her owner could no longer care for her. She is thriving at the rescue and enjoys trotting around the pasture with her friends.

Chief is a 25 year old Quarter horse that came to the rescue in February 2021 when we rescued another rescue taking in 13 horses. He was foundered in the past in the front and hind so is not rideable. He is super sweet, gentle and loves treats.

Birdie is a 28 year old Missouri Fox Trotter Mare that came to the rescue in 2020 due to the sale of property where she lived. She is blind in both eyes but can get around in her pasture. She will live out the rest of her life with her friends at the rescue.

Baron is a 26 year old chestnut Quarter horse gelding. He has few teeth but always lifts his right let when he sees dinner on the way. He is a friendly guy who loves attention and will live out the rest of his life here with his friends.
