Rascal is a quarterhorse gelding, standing 15 hands, who will be 20 this spring. "BONITAS RASCAL" has Poco Bueno and Doc Bar breeding. Being a buckskin color with dark mane, tail and zebra stripes on his legs, he is quite the handsome fellow. In his younger days he was active in 4-H and at one time held third place standing in the State of Alaska for barrel racing. He developed arthritis in one knee (common to barrel racers) so now he is restricted to easy trail rides and hanging out with the 'girls' in the turnout. There are times when he's out 'cruisin' the turnout that you would have no idea he has an arthritic knee!!

Last summer Rascal went to a new home but came back to us after a couple months. He dropped alot of weight and his coat became dull looking. I

thought maybe the stress of going to a home where he only had a mini donkey for company contributed but even after he came home, he continued to lose

weight. Finally, we tried a product called Excel, a Dynamite product. It helps to rid the organs of toxic buildup. Within a week there was a change

This summer Rascal is staying with the Jason Clark family along with Sundown. He is enjoying all the attention being lavished on him and has formed a close bond with 12 year old La'Nae. As we are so horse-poor, we are looking to find a permanent home for Rascal this fall. Although he can't be used for endurance riding or jumping, he has many years ahead of him as a pleasure or companion horse. If you know of such a home, please contact us.

In these pictures we had just rescued him and he is very underweight. We are happy to report that Rascal is now a plump and happy gelding!
