My story

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

Name: Velvet


Animal ID: 561703


Gender: Mare


Age: 11 years old


Breed: Standardbred/Pacer


Height: 15.1hh


Adoption Fee: $1,200


Location: Hempstead


Adopter experience needed: Intermediate/Advanced


Training level: Broke to ride


Current assessment and personality: Velvet is a sweet mare who is easy to handle. She is broke to ride but requires a confident rider as she needs guidance at times and is more comfortable with a rider who she can rely on. We believe she would benefit from a home where she can stay active and would be best suitable for regular trail rides. She is still receiving refresher rides with us and we are currently working on getting her softer in the mouth/bit.


Potential: No limitations


Health/lameness: No known issues


Loads and Trailers: Yes


Leads: Yes


Catch in pasture: Yes


Stands for farrier: Yes


Ties: Yes


Bathes: Yes
