Winona 22 - Sierra

All of the horses are REGISTERED. The vast majority being registered with the American Paint Horse Association (APHA) and a few are registered with the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA). All are from excellent bloodlines. The horses are beautiful but are beginning to deteriorate. The owner tells us that most have been handled since birth and are easy to manage. Pegasus cannot represent any of them as trained to ride. The owner says that some have been ridden but many are broodmares who have not been ridden in years, if at all. 

Winona 17 - Sinnamon

Due to the inadvertent escape of three different stallions during the summer of 2018, all but two of the mares are potentially bred. Foals could start arriving as early as May 2019. We must get these mares into safe homes before that happens. Otherwise, this situation will go from bad to catastrophic. 

Winona 25 - Lexxus and Winona 52 - Skipper

On the Pegasus website, we have created the link:  WINONA HERD . On that link, you'll find a chart assigning each horse a number (Winona 1 - 59) and listing basic information for each. Below the chart, you'll find a link to each horse. When you click a horse's link, you are taken to a photo, the horse's registration papers, and a brief description provided by the owner. If the horse does not have an individual link, that horse is not available for adoption. You may also go to the breeder's website, COYOTE CREEK RANCH , for additional information regarding this herd. That website is not up-to-date, but there are additional pictures of some of the horses there. 

Winona 18 - Peppilena

Of the 59 equine listed on the chart on the WINONA HERD link, the owner is making arrangements for 18 of them. Those horses are marked on the chart as CLAIMED. Pegasus is working desperately to place the other 41. We have reached out to other rescue organizations for assistance because this task is too big for Pegasus to handle alone. We need to have all 41 equine adopted and removed from Coyote Creek Ranch by February 28th. We can only provide care for this herd through that date. Any horse remaining after February 28th will be the responsibility of the owner, who has no resources to provide for them. 

Winona 5 - Ritz

Pegasus has adopted out Winona 12 and Winona 37. In addition, Pegasus will castrate, and take possession of Winona 45, 46, 47, 48, and 51. These are all 12 year old stallions who, once they are geldings, will be placed in our training program. That leaves 34 equine in need of rescue. There a few bonded pairs (Winona 3 & 18, Winona 17 & 52, Winona 22 & 43) and a trio of bonded donkeys. Two of the mares (Winona 27 & 28) are blind and need a safe home together. A gorgeous 12-year-old stallion (Winona 49) is also partially blind. Three of the older mares (Winona 7, 23 and 30) are in need of immediate placement because they are losing weight. 

 

Winona 13 - Heart

Winona 6 - Blondie

The forms for adoption will be posted on the WINONA HERD link within the next few days. All applicants will be screened to ensure that the horses are going to a proper and loving home with references checked. It is our MISSION to make sure each and every horse is safe. Adoption fees are to be determined but will be modest. Kill buyers need not apply. 

If you cannot adopt, but wish to donate to The Pegasus Project to help cover our vast expenses, we welcome any assistance you can offer. You can donate online by clicking here: DONATE. Or you can mail a check to The Pegasus Project, PO Box 26, Ben Wheeler, TX 75754. Be sure and designate that your gift is for the Winona Herd. This rescue mission has put a strain on Pegasus' budget and we need the help of our loyal supporters to rescue this beautiful, innocent, deserving group of horses. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
