Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society

Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society A non-profit equine welfare organization dedicated to helping starved, abused, abandoned and estray

Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society is a nonprofit rescue organization and equine welfare community. We rescue, rehabilitate, retrain, and rehome horses from neglect and abuse cases, horses who have been abandoned, and horses whose owners can no longer keep them. Fueled by a growing community of owners, caretakers, and equine-related specialists, we offer owner assistance programs that help owners ca

re for, and keep, their horses. We also assist with disaster relief efforts and provide educational opportunities to improve the quality of horse care in Texas and beyond.

“A holistic approach to equine care not only improves the health of the horse but also enhances the emotional bond between the animal and its caretaker.”
Dr. John J. Krai, a veterinary behaviorist

“Strong, informed communities are essential for advancing ethical standards and fostering a culture of care within the equine industry.”
The Equine Welfare Alliance

Our community uniquely provides a vital network of empathy, understanding, and encouragement fundamental to fostering a sustainable and joyful relationship with horses and other equines. It has been well documented that when we immerse ourselves in a community that nurtures our interests, we do not merely pursue our goals; we excel in them. And we become more resilient, more dedicated, and ultimately, more successful. Our community is not merely a network of rescuers, horse owners, or equine enthusiasts but instead a sanctuary of compassion, a center of knowledge, and a beacon of holistic support for both horses and their caretakers.

Rarity is a fiesty little bit, but she is gonna make someone a cute obstacle mini. Or someone needs to train her to drive. She is fancy and dainty.

She won't be available for riding, and she is not going to be available for a beginner or novice homes as she is young and likes to test her handler.

Welcome Gabby back to her fourth Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge in the Non Pro In Hand 12 & under division. Gabby loves horses, and her mom says Gabby sometimes disappears, tacks up her pony, Mayo (adopted from Bluebonnet), and rides him by herself. I would say that Gabby's living the dream of many a horse loving little girl.

Gabby's Challenge partner is Oliver Twist. He's a 17 year old, 10hh, pony gelding. He's a chill little guy who seems to be enjoying spending time working with Gabby. He does have Cushings and require a daily pill. Before he started medication, he foundered but he's doing well now. His vet says that he is sound and should be okay with light riding, as long as his diet is managed and he remains on meds.

Welcome Josey to her first Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge as a competitor - although I think she's been attending with her family since was just tiny. She's competing alongside sister Layna and with her grandmother and mom. It is awesome to have so many families participating together!

Josey says that this year she felt ready to commit the time and energy to working with a Bluebonnet horse.

Josey likes to barrel race and trick ride with her personal horse, and when she's not doing horsey things she likes karate and reading.

Josey's partner for the Challenge is Brookie. Brookie is a 12 year old, miniature horse gelding who came to us as a transfer from another rescue not long after getting gelded. Josey's helping him learn to be a good horse and partner, and he's going to make an awesome pet for someone.

Please welcome Layna to the In Hand 12 and Under Division of the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. She's competing alongside her sister, her grandmother's in the In Hand 13 & up division, and her mom's in the pro division. We love having this family helping horses alongside us!

Outside of horses, Layna loves math, cheerleading, and swimming. She has a pony she deoes a bit bit of everything from jumping and pony club to play days and working cows.

Layna's Challenge partner is Matcha. Matcha is a yearling filly who was removed from negligent owners by law enforcement and the Houston Humane Society and then transferred to Bluebonnet from HHS earlier this year. She'll likely be large pony size when she’s done growing.

You all are going to want to visit My Heart Horse Texas in the vendor hall at the Bluebonnet Horse Expo & Rescue Horse Training Challenge on October 3 in Taylor, Texas. Not only are they vendors, they're also Rosette level sponsors, and they're foster homes, adopters, and volunteers. AND they're a mom-daughter duo who is participating in the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. How did we get so lucky to have them on our side?!

They've got horse tack and awesome dog collars and leads - and they have Halloween stuff (my favorite!).

Carrot came to us from a neglect case, but you wouldn't know it now. He's going to make someone a nice pleasure and/or trail horse, and he'll be available on October 3 at the Bluebonnet Horse Expo & Rescue Horse Training Challenge in Taylor, Texas.

Yesterday you met Angelica, today I would like you to welcome her sister Abigail. She's also competing in the In Hand 13 and over. I love seeing families participate together.

Abigail says, "I have worked with horses and other animals for as long as I can remember. I began riding horses at the age of three and started training them when I was nine years old. One of my favorite parts of working with horses is watching their progress and seeing how quickly they learn new skills and gain confidence. I enjoy building a partnership with each horse and helping them reach their full potential."

Abigail has a full life. She's taking college credit courses, seves as the president of her local 4-H club, competes at the District 4-H Horse Show, and is am 2nd VP for the Waller County Junior Fair Board, also. (I am worn out just typing that - although it also makes me miss the days when I had energy!).

In 2023, Abigail earned Reserve Champion in Trail and Grand Champion in Conformation, both in-hand classes, with a filly she trained. She also placed fourth in the Under Saddle category at the 4-H State Horse Show with a three-year-old rescue gelding that she trained for nine months before he was adopted. Then in 2025, she earned Reserve Champion in the Under Saddle category at the 4-H State Horse Show.

Abigail is working with Thatcher this year. He's a yearling, pinto gelding who came to us with Zara not long after his owner died. Like Zara, he spent time with a trainer to get halter trained and Abigail is now taking his training further, introducing him to new things and helping him become a more well-rounded horse.

Pegasus has had a rough time. We're pretty sure he's deaf, or has very limited hearing, and he's lost a lot of vision, but that hasn't slowed him down. He is a trusting trail mount and is now carrying a flag in drill team - he's the mostly white guy out front. And he's being ridden by a kid, too!

He's going to be available for adoption on October 3 at the Bluebonnet Horse Expo & Rescue Horse Training Challenge in Taylor, Texas.
