My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Adira


Animal ID: 513540


Gender: Mare


Age: 18 years old


Breed: Appaloosa


Height:


Adoption Fee: $300


Location: Hempstead


Adopter experience needed: Advanced


Training level: Halter broke


Current assessment and personality: Adira arrived in our care super emaciated and weak. She went down over night and had to be lifted with a sling. This girl fought hard and is now thriving in our care! She is looking for a patient and caring adopter to live out the rest of her years! Adira can be skeptical of people at first, but seems to warm up quick. She will need someone to continue to show her the ropes and build up her trust.


Potential: Companion Only


Health/lameness: She currently has a slight head tilt and it may remain throughout her life due to previous trauma of being down for an extended period of time.


Loads and Trailers: Yes


Leads: Yes


Catch in pasture: Somewhat


Stands for farrier: In training


Ties: Yes


Bathes: Yes
