Rainbow Meadows Equine Rescue and Retirement, Inc.

Our retirees

	Apollo Retired gelding, Year of birth: 1986 Apollo was retired by his loving owner to a life of luxury at Rainbow Meadows. Purchased at an auction in approx 1999 it was shared that Apollo had been a "school horse" and a race horse. Apollo has been a loyal partner since 1999, carrying his best friend steadily over many miles of trail. Apollo has developed some mild back pain and is no longer able to carry an adult rider. Though Apollo is retired, should someone determine that he would be their "dream horse", Apollo's owner has agreed that he can be adopted to a good home where he can be loved and spoiled for the rest of his lifetime.

	Kharossan Rimini (a.k.a. Chacco) Retired gelding, Year of birth: 1981 Born in Australia in 1981, Chacco competed in multiple 100-mile endurance races throughout his lifetime. He first came to the United States for the World Endurance Championship in 1996 near Manhattan, Kansas. However, due to lameness, Chacco never returned home to Australia and instead remained with a Kansas State University veterinarian until 1999, when he was acquired by his owner, Christine Abbott. Christine competed Chacco in competitive trail riding until he was diagnosed with guttural pouch cancer in 2002. He was retired to Rainbow Meadows in January 2006.
