Quarter Horse Mare for Sale in Grand Island, NE
Jewel is a late 2003 QH filly. We saw her at an auction, and the only person bidding on her was a killer buyer. We couldn't let her go to slaughter, she has such a sweet personality. We really don't have the room, but will stay here until she is adopted out to a new home. More info and pics at www. ShadyAcres6. com on the Shady Acres Horse Rescue of Nebraska page. Adoption fee $200 f~~~

About Grand Island, NE
In 1857, 35 German settlers left Davenport, Iowa, and headed west to Nebraska to start a new settlement on an island known by French traders as La Grande Isle, which was formed by the Wood River and the Platte River. The settlers reached their destination on July 4, 1857, and by September had built housing using local timber. Over the next nine years, the settlers had to overcome many hardships, including blizzards and conflicts with Native Americans. They set up farms but initially had no market to sell their goods until a market opened at Fort Kearny. When the Pike's Peak Gold Rush began, Grand Island was the last place travelers could obtain supplies before they crossed the plains.
