Horse of the Month

November 2009

Meeko from Bear Valley Rescue, Canada

Meeko is a beautiful bay roan yearling Quarter Horse colt. Bear Valley rescued his dam, Jim Jim Reb (Reba), from the auction in the fall of 2007 by bidding against the meat buyer for her.

Reba was a pregnant registered Quarter Horse mare that came to the Alberta auction from Washington. She was very wary of people and most likely hadn't been handled much at all. She was barely halterbroke and her feet were in pretty bad shape (when they tried trimming her, she didn't know anything about picking up feet). She foaled Meeko in the spring of 2008. Meeko was very shy of people at first as well (a behaviour he picked up from his mom), but he's turned into a very sweet young colt who loves to be brushed. He is healthy and sound and can be registered. Bear Valley still has his dam Reba as well and she's finally becoming more trusting of people.

For more information on Meeko and Bear Valley Rescue, please visit www.bearvalleyab.org.
