SILVER
Silver is an Arabian and was an owner surrender to the Animal shelter as an 8 years old a stallion. Animal control gelded him and then we picked him up. He was very skinny so we floated his teeth, fattened him up and had Dr. Travers work his magic to help him on the road to recovery. We have put some miles on him now that he has gained weight and except for getting a little anxious in the cross ties he is the slowest Arabian I have ever come across. He is approximately 14.2 hands and will make a wonderful kids "honey".
CISCO
Cisco and his mother came from the Lancaster Animal Shelter. His mother was tied to a fence on the side of the road and he was running loose around her. They were pulled from the shelter by the Lange Foundation which has a facility in Canyon Country called St. Bonnies. When he was 1.5 years old I adopted him into Tita’s Place to continue his training. Cisco recently turned 4 and is currently thriving at Tita's Place while he continues his training.
PENNY & PEACHES
Penny and Peaches were living in a garage in the city of Ontario. The owner was accepted into the police academy and agreed to turn over the pigs to LAAR. I was contacted by a friend who asked if I could foster them while LAAR organized with the veterinarian to have them spayed. We always spay/neuter all rescue pigs so we can find them a permanent home in a more pig friendly environment. They were 8 months old and very friendly and sweet so we were able to place them quickly after they were fixed.
BAM BAM
Bam Bam came to me when he was approximately 4 months old.
He was raffled off at a kid’s party and the person that won him knew nothing about pigs. She took him to a friend’s barn where he was put in a pen with two older males which he immediately started to fight with since he is an intact male! They put him a stall by himself where my friend saw him and convinced the owner to him over to me. He was covered in skin mites and was so itchy. We treated the mites with Ivermectin and oatmeal baths and castrated him.Once his skin had recovered I found a home for him nearby with a wonderful family that had a female pot bellied pig
MAVERICK
Maverick is a 19 year old Warmblood. Maverick came from a riding school program who was kind enough to realize he no longer wanted to jump and just wanted to find him a loving home. He has been adopted into great home living on 40 acres with 3 other horses. He is enjoying a new career with the mounted posse and has already been in the Hollister Christmas parade.
TONY
Tony is a 10 year old OTTB. Tony’s mom died when he was only 2 weeks old so he thinks he is a puppy! He came to us with a little soft tissue damage and fluid on his joint. We treated him and let him rest for a few months before starting the retraining process. He has been adopted into a school program in Northern California and couldn’t be happier surrounded by kids.
Me Myself I

Me Myself I
It is with great sadness that we pass on that me has passed on. We lost him to colic. was born in 2011, he was trained for the track and ran his first race as a 4 year old in 2015. Unfortunately he bowed a tendon and was taken out of training rotation for 2 years. They brought him back to try to race him again and it aggravated the injury so he was taken out of the training rotation again. They tried to bring him back to race fitness a third time to no avail, he was not staying sound enough to race. During his lay ups and after the last failed attempt to bring him back to race, Me has been used as a “place holder” at the track.
A place holder is a horse that stays in the 12x12 stall and only comes out to walk on the walker. Trainers need these place holders to keep their stalls. This job for a horse is a jail sentence for a crime he did not commit.
Me was kept as a stallion, he was never used for breeding, so the first thing that needed to happen was to geld him. Gelding an older horse is risky so he was delivered directly to the hospital for this procedure. Unfortunately there was a complication and his lungs filled with fluid and he had to stay in the hospital an extra day to clear that up with medication.
The second thing that had to happen is his feet needed trimming and shoes put on.
We are looking forward to giving him the life he deserves at Tita’s Place and once he has been rehabbed and accessed to figure out what job he is comfortable in we look forward to placing him in his forever home.
