Mia
Mia is missing her right eye, but very solid on that side when using voice commands. Can walk, trot, canter under saddle but would prefer the easy life of retirement, grazing, grooming, and the occasional ride. We have worked a good bit on creating boundaries on the ground so that she is not pushy. She adapts to new herds very well and is polite in the herd hierarchy. Easy keeper for her age. Strong feet, barefoot, easy to trim. No lameness, no medication.

Scarlett
Scarlett is a 10-year-old Standardbred Cross/Tennessee Walker mare. She arrived at Hope for Horses in the fall of 2020 as an owner surrender. Other than periodic bouts with laminitis, which is maintained with a special grain and corrective trims from the Farrier, Scarlett is an active, spunky horse with a great personality. She gets along well with other mares but prefers the company of her gelding boyfriends. Scarlett loves being groomed and would benefit from being in a home where she is provided continued handling and training opportunities.

Winter
Winter is a sweet mare with a very friendly disposition. We have put great ground manners in her and she is very respectful on the ground. She does walk, trot, canter under saddle. Winter has been diagnosed with ringbone so she will require medication for the rest of her life. We have had her on previcox for 2 months and it helps keep her comfortable under saddle. She is able to carry a light rider and do light work. She would be a very nice lead line pony for a kid. She prefers riding in a halter as she has head trimmers and the bridle seems to agitate that. Neuro work-up didn’t show anything.
She is an easy keeper, a sweet girl, and would make a lovely new herd mate and family member! Also she has severe allergies to gnats and is also on meds for that.

Skye
Skye is a five year young Paint Horse mare. She has been with Hope for Horses since she was born and spent her first few years at a lovely foster home. Skye came into the training facility this winter and has spent a few months growing and learning to be a well behaved kid. She has just recently gone under saddle and has taken to the process nicely. Due to her age we are taking her training slowly and in stride. Skye is going to make a lovely partner for someone very soon. She is a beautiful, friendly and curious girl. We will continue to introduce her to the world of being a good citizen and keep you all posted on her progress! Skye does require allergy medication during the midge season.

Brody
Little man Brody has been with Hope for Horses for a few years, he came in from a large herd of feral, untouched ponies. He is a young, welsh cross pony, that is very green and super cute! Many of these ponies are now adopted out and in the world toting kids around! We hope that that will be in Brody’s near future. He spent a good bit of time out on a large farm enjoying the good life eating grass, hanging with sheep and growing. He is now back at the training facility learning to be a good citizen. Within the next two months Brody should be well on his way to carrying his (little) rider and ready to explore the world! Please stay tuned for Brody’s progress!

Dude will be the perfect companion to the right home with some experience.
