Heavens First Light (“Rev”)

Joined WWRR: May 14, 2026

Rev is a handsome gelding with a thoughtful, sensitive personality and a heart that wants connection. He is the kind of horse who makes you slow down, pay attention, and build a relationship based on trust rather than force. While he may seem serious at first, those who spend time with him quickly discover a curious, gentle horse who enjoys people and thrives when given patience and consistency.

Rev has primarily been doing groundwork and has shown a natural ability to connect with people. He enjoys having a job and responds well to clear communication and leadership. He would excel in a home that values partnership, groundwork, liberty work, and relationship-based horsemanship.

Rev would thrive as a:

• Liberty horse
• Groundwork partner
• Equine guided education or therapy prospect
• Companion horse
• Sanctuary or pleasure home

Rev is not looking for a high pressure performance career. He is looking for a person who appreciates who he is and enjoys building a connection one step at a time.

He is best suited for someone with horse experience who understands that trust is earned. Rev is intelligent, willing, and sensitive. He does best with a calm, patient handler who allows him time to process and learn.

He:

• Loads well
• Stands for the farrier
• Is up to date on vaccinations, dental care, hoof care, and deworming
• Enjoys groundwork and human interaction
• Gets along well in a herd environment

Rev is a special horse with a bright future ahead of him. We believe he has the potential to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others through connection, presence, and partnership. Because of that, we will be selective about the home he enters. Our goal is to find a place where Rev can continue to grow, thrive, and share his gifts with the people around him.

Palo is a sorrel paint gelding with a huge heart and a LOT of go. He is broke to ride with a smooth trot and lope, and he absolutely loves having a job. He has been hauled to arenas, pushed cattle, and was previously used as a finished heel horse on the lower end. 

However, due to his past neglect and handling history surrounding roping, Palo has shown sensitivity and anxiety connected to that environment. Because of this, I do not want him going back into roping. He deserves a softer chapter than that.

Palo would thrive as a:
• Trail horse
• Playday or arena horse
• Pasture riding partner
• Confidence building project for an experienced horse person

He has confidently crossed logs, water, trail obstacles, and unfamiliar terrain with ease. He is athletic, willing, and incredibly rewarding once he trusts you.

Palo does come with history that requires understanding and feel. He is head shy and can still be jumpy with new things, though he has made tremendous progress mentally. Once he is caught and tacked up, he settles in and becomes a forward moving, willing partner.

He is NOT beginner suitable. He does not have a strong stop and has previously been ridden in a tie down. He needs a confident, experienced rider who understands softness, patience, consistency, and helping horses continue rebuilding confidence.

He:
• Loads great
• Stands for the farrier
• Is up to date on shots, teeth, hoof care, and deworming

Due to dental loss, Palo requires soaked/mashed feed because he cannot properly chew hay or grain.

Palo is deeply special to me. Because of that, I will be extremely selective about where he goes. If the right person does not come along, he will stay here. He is lower in the herd and would do best in a home that understands sensitive horses and continues building his confidence instead of tearing it down.

Frenchmans Boone Dox (“Boone”)

Birthday: January 19, 2012

Joined WWRR: May 14, 2026

Boone is a handsome bay gelding with an old soul and a teddy bear personality. Standing approximately 15.2 hands tall and carrying the bloodlines of Frenchmans Guy and High Chaparral, Boone is the definition of a gentleman. He is kind, people oriented, easy to catch, and genuinely enjoys spending time with humans.

Boone has a calm, steady presence that makes people feel comfortable around him. He is obedient, responsive to voice and hand commands, and has excellent groundwork manners. Whether he is quietly standing for grooming, going for a walk, or simply sharing space with someone, Boone has a way of bringing smiles to the hearts of those around him.

Boone would thrive as a:

• Therapy horse
• Equine guided education partner
• Groundwork horse
• Companion horse
• Sanctuary horse

Due to previous stifle injuries and arthritis, Boone is not suited for demanding riding careers or performance work. His future is focused on lower impact activities where he can continue helping people while remaining comfortable and happy.

He:

• Loads well
• Stands for the farrier
• Is easy to catch
• Gets along well in a herd environment
• Responds well to voice and hand commands
• Enjoys human interaction and attention
• Is up to date on routine veterinary and hoof care

Boone is currently being assessed for riding work possibilities.

Boone is proof that healing does not always look like returning to what once was. Sometimes healing looks like finding a new purpose, a slower pace, and a community that loves you exactly as you are.
