12-16-25 UPDATE! GRAY HAS A NEW HOME! "Gray" is a registered Quarter Horse
Texas Prison & Police Horse Rescue has 1 horse left to be rehomed. All other horses are either staying here at TPPHR as their forever home or have gone outside our facility to their forever homes, awaiting transport, or being tried on a trial basis! We are so happy for these former Prison Horses, we feel really good about the homes we have chosen and think they will all get there hereo’s retirement!
The horse that is left is Mr. Gray, we have confirmation he cannot ever be ridden! We would like to see him go to maybe a home looking for a companion horse or maybe a sanctuary!
When he sees you, he comes running towards you for your love or treats....equally appreciated. He’s not aggressive, but he does love to eat! We have a window in our shop and he is the first baby to greet us with a "good morning" nicker!
He’s very beautiful, we have his coat looking much better and clear, he gets playful and fun to watch. You can take him and he loves a good grooming. Good for him and relaxation for you!
- Registered Quarter Horse
- Age: 17
- 15 Hands
- Color gray
- Vetted December 2025
- Next farrier visit is January 2nd, 2026. Stands great for this spa day
- Barefoot aka no shoes
- Currently on no medications but we suspect pain management in his distant future
- Has "TMJ" (pain in his jaw joints)
- T12 and T13 (spine) are fused, edema in elbow joints and low mobility in right shoulder = Can NOT be ridden
- There is no charge aka "re-homing fee" for Gray. It took a village of donations to save him and our group's goal was to free him from the kill pen pipeline and place him in a "Happily Ever After" home. We will gladly accept a donation of any amount to TPPHR but this is not required. You will need to pay for transport though.

2014 Grade Sorrel Mare – “Thelma”
Thelma is a well-built, 15.1 hand sorrel mare with a solid foundation and a good mind. Born in 2014, she’s seasoned and sound, with the kind of training and exposure that makes her a dependable partner for both work and play. Thelma comes out of a prison program and is well broke, respectful on the ground, and responsive under saddle. She’s confident in new environments, and nothing much fazes her. Desensitized to ropes, cattle, dogs, traffic—you name it—she’s seen it and handled it with a level head.
She’s currently running barrels and consistently places in the 2D/3D at local jackpots. She’s quick and knows her job, perfect for someone looking to step up or just enjoy the sport without starting from scratch. She’s also been roped off of.
She trailers well, stands for the farrier, ties, bathes, and gets along with other horses in the pasture.
Located in Azle. Vet checks welcome. Serious inquiries only, please.
