Hope
Hope is a 2022 Devil’s Garden Mustang mare who came to the rescue in March 2023 from the U.S. Forestry Service needing a soft landing. She had a luxated sacrum, likely from being bred too young in the wild. Shortly after arriving, Hope gave birth to her colt, Chance, and received careful pain management, gentling, and hoof care.
In April 2025, Hope traveled to Cleveland Equine Clinic for imaging and reevaluation of her old injury and was cleared for saddle work. She also received two months of professional training, including gentling, beginning saddle work (not yet ridden), and bodywork from her trainer, an Equine Myofascial Cranial Realignment specialist.
Hope is a sweet, willing mare ready to find her forever home as either a pasture companion or under-saddle horse.

Spartacus
Spartacus is a hinny (a cross between a male horse and a female donkey) born around 2020. He stands approximately 11 hands tall.
He came to the rescue unhandled in November 2023. Spartacus has a classic hinny personality: strong-willed, independent, and opinionated, but he is also curious and engaging once he trusts you. He can be dominant with other horses, though he is currently doing well in his present group. He is not a guardian animal.
He received training May through September 2024 and April through May 2026. Spartacus is now very green under saddle and in harness pulling a cart.
Because of his training level, he is not suitable for a beginner rider or driver. He would be a great fit for someone with mule or hinny experience.

Long-Term Residents
These special horses have found their forever home here at Mending Hope Equine Rescue. While some of these horses are not available for adoption due to age, medical conditions, or other circumstances, they are all cherished members of our herd. Some will simply enjoy a peaceful retirement, while others will participate in public events such as Horses & Heroes and Healing Hooves, helping to inspire and connect with our community. Each horse has a unique story, and we are honored to provide them with a safe, loving home for life.
Spirit
Spirit is a beautiful Mustang who is still learning to trust humans. While she is not currently available for adoption, she is slowly beginning to show interest in us — watching closely as the other horses receive love and attention. We are giving Spirit all the time and space she needs to feel safe and comfortable.
Stanley
Stanley is a mini-horse born around 2020. Now a beloved member of our herd, Stanley plays an important role in our community outreach programs, Horses & Heroes and Healing Hooves, where he helps bring joy, comfort, and connection to those who need it most.
