The Horses
Abby & Cotton
Abby is a Palomino Tobiano mare, born the spring of 2007.
Cotton is a black and white Overo gelding, born the spring of 2006.
Abby & Cotton arrived at ANFH on June 11, 2025. They were surrendered by their owner and are a bonded pair that have been together since 2008. Both have been very neglected over the past few years. They both will require extensive farrier care and lots of TLC.
Maximus Prime (Max)
Max is a clydesdale that originally came to ANFH for the purpose of being a friend for Myles, as they were the same age. Little did we know, that Max actually needed rescuing. Max was very withdrawn, and was terrified of people. The only interaction that he ever had with a human, was when he was pinned in the stocks and forced into getting his hooves trimmed. When Max finally arrived at A Nicker For Hope, we knew this broken soul was going to need time to restore his spirit. After a few months at the rescue, he is a completely different horse. His spirit is alive and his soul is so gentle. He loves to play with his toys, is constantly running and playing with Myles, and he loves to share quiet, special moments with his humans and have them hold his head while he sleeps.
Myles
Myles was an orphan wild foal that was found by Steff & Kris Carlson at just 2 days old. You can read Myles full story on our “about us” page. He is the inspiration and “mascot” behind A Nicker For Hope Foundation.
