BUTTONS
Appaloosa, Buttons is gaining weight, but will never regain the ground he lost as a colt.  Only 14 hands, he's 'cute as a button.' Adoption fee $400.

RUSTY
Many feel that mustangs should be 'broken' and have saddles on their backs.  Many accomodate their owners by doing so and adjust to their new world.  Rusty decided, after going through all the 'training' he could endure, that he would throw the next guy that got on his back.  And he did - three times.  Very disappointed that this little horse was 'too wild' he was donated to S.T.A.R. Ranch.
Donations for Rusty will go for hoof repair, special feed and treatment for his coat, and hay.  He can stay at S.T.A.R. forever, or find a home that understands--- "I'm a REAL mustang."

COCOA
Cocoa is poetry in motion.  A beautifully gaited horse, only a teenager, she would make a great riding horse - with a refresher course.

---

SNOWBALL
At 20+ years, Snowball arrived very much overweight....having foundered several springs in a row.  Now with room to run (she doesn't know it is exercise) and the right diet, she is back in shape and ready for a great home.  In typical pony style, she doesnt' take 'no' for an answer from her other herd members.  No longer ridable, she is the perfect companion for anyone.  She may have been a unicorn in another life!  $250 adoption fee.

STARBUCK
Starbuck, Tenn. Walker, has lost vision in his right eye.  He has adapted to seeing only with his left which is handy since that is 'rider' side anyway.  $450 adoption fee, 8 years old and ready to ride.

---

KARA
This 2 1/2 year old filly is ready for her forever home.  She is SO smart and will be easy to train and ride.  She is healthy and full of life.  $450 adoption fee.

MIKEY
I'm looking at you with my good eye.  Years ago a 'not so nice horse buddy' kicked me and I lost vision in my right eye.  But that was then and this is now... I have learned to compensate beautifully.  I had a loving family who took really good care of me.  I miss them, but I had to move on.  I'm a 22 year old Quarter horse gelding with a lot of good years left.  I understand reining and just love it!  I'm a big guy, with (if you don't mind my bragging) a great physique.  I may be considered handicapped, but who isn't?  I've learned to adjust to mine, have you?  Maybe you can relate and I will find my new home soon.

LUCY and MISTY These 2 mares almost made it to STAR in time.  Misty, age 7, was too severely malnurished to stay with us as long as we wanted her.  For 2 weeks, many humans tried everything to keep her here, then lovingly, sadly, had to let her go.  The 8 year old son of the assisting vet said he had been told in Sunday School that Jesus was coming back on a white horse.  "How can He do that if we don't send him a white horse?"  Out of the mouths of babes.  No matter what any varying religious concepts were at that moment, we were of one accord.  We sent Misty to Jesus. Lucy continues to do well and is getting stronger every day.

DOLLY
Dolly came to STAR in April with the help of many friends.  Having been picked on and bitten by her former pasture mates, she was grateful for the peace and quiet and TLC.  Today she is comfortable as a pasture mate, most of the bite marks are gone, and she is looking for her forever home.  $300 adoption fee.
