Rosie is a lovely bay Polish Arabian rescued from Washington with Pru, Elle, Bekas, Prudenta, Sierra and Nega. She is semi-retired, but was our beginner lesson horse. At 23 years old, she is the boss of her herd. (Photos courtesy of Tobe Roberts 10/8/10)

Charlie Tuna was not a rescue, per se. When we moved our facility from Stillwater to Wantage, the owners of the Stillwater farm asked us to take him with us so he would not be alone. (We had planned to anyway). Charlie is a 15.2hd, 30 yr old TWH x Morgan gelding and totally blind from severe Cushings Syndrome. He does nothing but babysit Dahli and bring us joy. We had to teach him that it was okay for a gentleman to retire and still have dignity.

The picture that started the rescue on its original mission, a herd of horses in Washington state!

Elle started life as a pampered princess at Ventura Farms then fell on hard times. Once again, she is a princess here. Elle is 22yrs old, 14.3hds, pure Polish and pure sweetness. She is by Wizjon out of Elstera and the famous E line of mares. Other than the $30.00 a month Dana gives her, all of Elle's expenses are paid by Terry Figueroa, personally.

Grasshopper is our resident "grandpa". He is as wide as he is tall. Standing at only about 10hds and being a very young 38 years old, he tells each horse his sad tale of his BFF Benji, who passed on. Every time he tells his story they let him have grain. Very entertaining to watch. This boy knows his job, babysitting our junior-junior riders, and does it extremely well.(Photo below courtesy of Tobe Roberts 10/8/10) 

This handsome little TB was surrendered in the middle of a nor'easter. He has some emotional and physical scars, but he is the most personable and loving horse you will ever meet (and the most kissable roman nose!)

Hero is 8yrs and is a lovely dark brown TB mare. Rescued off the track by our friend Marion, she had shattered her leg during her last start. After two surgeries and lots of pins and screws, she is now healthy and sound. Co-owned by one of  our boarders and supporters, Darby, she has been with us for 4 years and will have a home with us for life.

Prince is a very handsome 13yr old Arab gelding. Originally rescued from slaughter by our mentor Dr. Sarah Ralston of Rutgers U., he is now one of our very special residents.

Sierra is a 14.2hd chestnut mare of perfection. She is so sweet, gentle, kind and intelligent. She won the heart of our partner, friend and massage therapist, Kristen and so she now has her ideal home; her own person, while still with us for life. She is by "Nanit (Kilimandsharo) our of a beautiful imported Padron daughter.       ADOPTED by our own Massage Therapist & Treasurer of ARM, Kristen!

  Pru when he arrived 2003!

Pru is the ruler of the barn and Terry's heart. He is an awesome 15.2hd, grey, 27yr old stallion of Aswan breeding. He is by Procent out of Pandora (Aswan). He was the true founder of The Arabian Rescue Mission, started in 2003. He is supported 100% by Terry Figueroa everyday of every year.

Bekas is the other ruler of the barn and Terry's soul. He is of Kuheilan type, big-bodied, 15.3hds and stands proudly at 30 years old. He is not available for outside breedings. He has been with us since 2005 and we are honoured to have him here. He was imported by Ventura Farms from the Janow Podlowski Stud in Poland. All of Bekas' needs and wants are also paid for by Terry Figueroa, every day!
