Salma

Home     Adoption Contract     Rescued Horses     About Us

Salma came into our rescue program on May 28, 2019. Salma came into our rescue program from the City of Choctaw and the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office along with 22 other horses and Donkeys as a cruelty case. Sadly, one died the night before the seizure, despite our best efforts to save her. She was reportedly down for more than 10 hours, before we got the call. Salma is a Beautiful, Grey, Arabian/Quarter Horse X, Mare. Salma is estimated to be 7 years of age. Salma is a super sweet girl and loves attention. Salma is very thin with a body score of a 2. She was Infested with internal/external parasites and anemic. Salma is gaining weight and strength daily. We will update her adoption status soon. Please consider making a donation towards Salma's Rehabilitation.

Update September 2020 Salma is ready for a family to call her own. Salma is a super sweet girl and loves attention and is ready for a family to call her own. Salma is now 8 years old and stands at 14.3 hands tall. She is ready for training and for someone to start her under saddle and give her a job. Salma is halter broke and broke to lead. She stands for the farrier and loads in a trailer. Salma has a current negative coggins, up to date on vaccinations, deworming, dental and hoof maintenance. If you are interested in giving this sweet girl the forever home she deserves, please submit an adoption application or call/text/email to schedule an appointment to come visit Salma.

Update March 2021 Salma was originally picked to compete in our 10th Annual Blaze's Ride to the Rescue Trainers Challenge event. She went into training on January 2 and was progressing wonderfully, even received several rides under saddle. Fast forward to the 2 week winter storm in February that seemed to slow things down a bit for everyone. During that time frame, she was blanketed and taking it easy. The first nice day, means blanket off and suddenly Salma appeared much different. If you thought 2020 was a rough year and trust me, it was for everyone, it appears that 2020 is a gift that just keeps on giving. To our dismay, Salma is confirmed pregnant. When we were hit with that news, it stopped us all in our tracks and we had to think back to who, what, where, when. I do not advocate for breeding, specially grade horses. I believe if you are going to breed, you breed to improve the breed. Meaning, proven parents with extensive backgrounds. So for Salma to come up pregnant is horrifying to say the least. Once we sat down and visited with our Veterinarian, we all remembered who the culprit was. In February 2020, Hondo came into our rescue program. Hondo was thin, he was 8 years old, and he had NO testicles. Our Veterinarian even confirmed what we felt and placed him in the standing stocks and palpated for testicles, NONE! An 8 year old horse should have prominent testicles present. All horses are quarantined for 3 to 4 weeks prior to being turned out with the other horses. So, he was turned out in March to join the herd. Late April, we noticed he was exhibiting stud like behavior. We pulled him up and checked him again and bam, now he has testicles. We thought, surely, he didn't breed anything because Irish Red and Tom Jones were not happy with him and was working hard to keep him away from the mares. Hondo fooled us all and we certainly won't make that mistake again. He was immediately brought back into a stall and an appointment for castration was scheduled. He was gelded immediately. We get a lot of studs in a our program. We always take proper precautions to ensure the mares are never exposed or bred. Again, I can't stress enough, I do not advocate for breeding grade horses. There are to many unwanted horses already in this world. To say I'm horrified and beyond embarrassed in an understatement. It is way to late to resolve this problem now and Salma is due to foal any day now. I am so sad to see her pregnant. She was finally getting a shot at being trained and was showing success in her training. We were all so excited to see her flourish and have a chance to find the loving home she deserved with a job. Now, that is once again being pushed back. Salma is back with us, waiting the arrival of her foal. Sagan Dyer is now training Wilson and will be competing with him for our Trainer Challenge event. Stay tuned for updates! We will address Salma's adoption status after her foal arrives.

Update March 17, 2021 Salma delivered a very healthy, beautiful little filly on March 17, 2021. Although, she certainly wasn't something we asked for, you can't help but to love her. She is very curious and loves to be right in your business. I'm not sure where she gets that from, because neither Salma nor Hondo enjoyed your attention. This sweet girl has already been adopted and once weaned, Salma will be completing her training under saddle. We hope to have Salma available for adoption by July or August of this year. We will certainly keep everyone posted of her progress.

Salma has been adopted to a wonderful family in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Salma is going to be extremely well loved and spoiled rotten in her forever, loving home. We are thrilled that this special girl found the forever, loving family she deserves where she will be showered with love and attention.
