She is quiet and sensitive and very willing, forward moving but not too hot. Mariposa is current on trimming, dental float, vaccinations, and de-worming. $750.00 adoption fee to approved home only.
Angel
Angel is a Chestnut TB mare, approximately 15.3H and ~12yrs old. Sound and athletic, lovely mover with ground covering long and low stride. She is still green and will require further training for her to reach her full potential, intermediate to advanced rider recommended but based on her personality will likely be a good beginners horse once fully trained. Docile and sweet temperament, a bit shy but coming out of her shell. Angel is current on trimming, dental float, vaccinations, and de-worming. Angel has been moved to the Cowgirl Spirit Rescue Drill Team training and adoption program. Please visit their website for more information (see Polly).
Maya:
Maya is a 3 year old chestnut with flaxen QH filly. She is stout and stocky and will likely mature to 14.1-14.3H. Maya has been through a lot in her short life including an injury to her left front leg that has left her with a permanent firm swelling above her carpus/knee and mild trauma to her hind fetlocks. She has been sound since recovery from her injury, but has not been in heavy work, so her longterm soundness is not guaranteed. She also has cataracts and is blind in one eye and partially blind in the other, the cataracts are not progressing and her remaining vision should not decrease, there are surgical options to help restore complete vision. This sweet girl has been started in groundwork and trick training and will be started under saddle this spring. She is a quick learner and would love to be part of your family! Maya is current on trimming, dental float, vaccinations, and de-worming. $250.00 adoption fee to approved home only.
Zoe:
Zoe is a bay TB mare, ~12yrs, approximately 15.2H, with big beautiful eyes. Zoe is currently sound but has a hock injury that limits her range of motion and athletic potential. She has not been started under saddle and is best suited as a pasture pal/companion. She is smart and sweet but dominant in the herd and will require an intermediate to advanced handler due to improper handling in the past. Zoe is current on trimming, dental float, vaccinations, and de-worming. $250.00 adoption fee to approved home only.
UPDATE JUNE 2009 - A note from Zoe's foster Mom
"Zoe is one of the most amazing horses that I think I have ever met. She is kind and gentle and wants so desperately to be loved. She is very sensitive to praise and loves to be told how beautiful she is and rewarded for her good behavior. She eagerly greets you in the morning and comes running to you when she is out in the pasture. She would rather hang around her people than anything else. She is not afraid of much of anything and does not tend to spook easily. If something does frighten her all she needs is a little reassurance that it is not that scary and she will press on. Zoe's forever home should be with someone who wants to love a loving horse but understands that there are some things that Zoe is afraid of and those things take patience. Getting angry and frustrated at her does not work but gentle reminding and rewarding for good behavior has brought Zoe an incredibly long way."
Bailey:
Bailey is a Bay Thoroughbred gelding, approximately 15 years and around 15.3H. He is a sweet and handsome guy who wants to be your buddy. He cannot be ridden (other than occasional light riding) due to arthritis in his knees (carpus’). He has remained sound as a pasture pal other than when he gets too playful, in which case he has a mild lameness for a few days. He will become part of our EFP/EFL program becuase of his great personality if he does not find a compassionate forever home. Bailey is current on trimming, dental float, vaccinations, and de-worming. $250.00 adoption fee to approved home only.
