Horse Needs Home

I am desperately looking to place my horse after 8 yrs of ownership.

I have an Arab/Quarter horse mare. She will be 20 this spring however, still acts like she's 6.

I lost my barter/board deal last summer & this horse has been homeless since December 2010. She is at my friend's house with her 3 at the moment. However, my friend's horse just ate the temp shelter I had for her....ugh!

I have used this horse for trail riding. She goes english or western. I've ridden her western. I believe this horse was abused at some point in her life as it took her 2 yrs to trust me. She has come a long way since I've had her. Loves people, I've given pony rides with little kids on her & had teenagers ride her.

She is 14.2 h. Small but fast! I would suggest an intermediate rider...she is a FUN horse!

She will buck if you don't let her go as fast as she wants and needs a firm rider. It is basically a protest!

As many other horse owners...unfortunately I cannot afford to keep her. She is an easy keeper & has only been on hay this winter.

I need to find her a good home ASAP as her shelter got eaten:(

She has good feet and is good with farrier, vet. She's been shoed hot, cold and gone barefoot.

References would be appreciated,.

 

I get at least 2 emails a week regarding horses needing homes. It is so sad to read the descriptions of the horses. What chance do they have of ever finding placement. Another older horse with limited training.

Can't the owner get another temporary shelter? A portable car port is around $100, and she can just keep her horse and shelter seperate from her friends horse. I think she just wants to get rid of the horse, as she has limited funds.
