Everyone loves a red-headed mare who is sweet and well behaved! Twyla came into Longmeadow as an owner surrender in the Spring of 2022. Her owner was no longer able to provide for her horses. Twyla was lightly started under saddle but during the evaluation process our trainer noticed Twyla was reluctant to move forward at the trot while being ridden. After numerous vet exams and diagnosics, it was discovered that Twyla had a growth defect that altered the formation of her stifles. Radiographs showed abnormal formation of her tibial plateau and femur on the distal side of both stifles.
Due to this unique formation Twyla should never be ridden but she will make a beautiful decoration to your pasture. She loves attention from people, gets along great with her herd mates, and is easy to catch in a field. She could be trained to do light agility work as long as she doesn`t carry a load and isn`t required to do jumping exercises.
Adoption fee: $400
Height: 15hh
