The horses listed on this page are located at Hideaway
Hill Farm.
There are several other horses available that are stabled at other locations
and are listed on our Courtesy Listings page. Please check them out, too! We make every effort to assist others in placing horses that need homes.

SISSY
(pictured below)
Due to unfortunate
circumstances, HHF was forced to re-take custody of this gorgeous mare. Sissy is blind in her left eye and may
be losing vision in her right eye. She also has a soundness issue that requires her to only be a pasture buddy
or leadline horse. This mare is sooooo sweet and easy to manage. We just love her and we are very grateful that
we were notified of the unfortunate turn of events that occured after her adoption last September. We make every effort
to ensure the horses and ponies are adopted in the most suitable situation we can find for them. Unfortunately, we cannot
control everything. She is now back safe and happy in her old field with her old buddy! Thank you Susan S. and
Christine L. for helping us with this situation. Sissy will remain at HHF until a highly suitable companion home only
comes along!
LIBERTY - aka "Libby"
(pictured below)
Liberty arrived at HHF on October 11, 2009. She is part of a neglect case from Schuylkill County, PA.
Libby's former owner was charged with Cruelty to Animals, Title
18, 5511. He failed to show for his court date and was subsequently picked up on a warrant. He has since plead
guilty.
Libby is a three year-old paint filly,
brown and white in color and she is very friendly! She doesn't know a darn thing, but she loves attention, so that's
a start! Liberty is becoming much more accustomed to leading, grooming, and basic handling. She is quite
a lovely mover, with long elegant legs and a nice floaty trot. She is very friendly! Feel free to contact us and
set up an appointment to see her! ADOPTION FEE IS $1,000.00. Her adoption fee may increase to $1,500.00 once she
is started under saddle.
RUSSELL
(pictured below)
Five
year-old TB UNRACED gelding, pictured in the four pictures below. THIS IS AN AWESOME HORSE!!!!
If you are looking for a gorgeous and talented horse to compete in Dressage or have fun with on the trails, this is your boy!
I LOVE him! Russ is all of 17.0 hands and is UNRACED, no tattoo. He was in training
for racing but bowed his front tendons and never made it to the track (thankfully). His bows are SET AND HEALED AND
HE IS SOUND. I know there are many horses that go on to have successful jumping careers after bowing their tendons,
but I am only adopting him out to someone that won't jump anything beyond a little log on the trail...I just want to play
it safe and he is too nice to ask anything of him that could potentially be a problem (I'm a worrier). This horse
is a gorgeous mover and was made for Dressage. Big and quiet and goes nicely on the trail. Have had him out all
by himself and he was great. Didn't mind traffic or wildlife and walked along on a nice long rein. Please no beginners...although
he's been very quiet for me, I'm a very experienced rider and this horse is young and green yet. TALENTED HORSE!
Loads and clips (even his ears!), loves to be groomed and is extremely people oriented. He loves attention and
being doted over.
Russell will be available
in May 2010 so that his training can be continued here at HHF. He is currently going through Parelli Level
1 On-Line. If you are interested in him, please feel free to set up an appointment to come
and see him in the meantime. ADOPTION FEE: $1,000.00.
UPDATE! I went trail
riding at Jacobsurg State Park on Russell on June 7th with my friend Monty and his horse, Tory. We had a great day.
Russ was such a good boy...I was so proud of him. This was his first trip out trail riding away from home. And
he loaded onto and off the trailer great! What a superstar...so glad he his getting over his loading issues. See
the pictures below and new video clips of our day!
UPDATE! RUSSELL WENT
TO HIS FIRST SHOW ON JUNE 22nd at the Bucks County Horse Park and did great for his first time out! What a good boy!
Stood like a champ to be tacked up and behaved like a pro in the schooling ring. We did Intro A and B. First test
went really well, second test had some issues, but that's okay! All in all, a very good day for his very first time
out. Russell can also be seen at the LVDA schooling show at Coopersburg Equestrian Center on July 18th. This show is a benefit for HHF. Come see Russ in
action and consider giving him a loving home!!!
UPDATE! RUSSELL competed at the Coopersburg Equestrian Center dressage show on July 18th and scored a 64% in
Intro B! Not too shabby for his second show! We also qualified for the LVDA championship show in October.
If he is still available at the time, he will be competed at that show. THIS GUY IS AN AWESOME DRESSAGE HORSE!
Won't you consider giving him a loving home? He LOVES to trail ride!
