My story

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

Name: Xena


Animal ID: 562815


Gender: Female


Age: 14 years old


Breed: Pony


Height: 9.2hh


Adoption Fee: $300


Location: Houston


Adopter experience needed: Intermediate


Training level: Halter broke


Current assessment and personality: Xena is a sweet yet sassy pony that would do great in a forever home that will give her the hands on that she needs. We have found out that Xena does not do well with other horses, big or small, in a smaller pasture and will need a bigger area if she will be housed with other horses. She is easy going however can be opinionated at times but has already made such a huge improvement with daily hands on!


Potential: No limitations


Health/lameness: A biopsy was done to find out she has sun damage to her 3rd eyelid therefore we recommend keeping a fly mask on her when turned out in the sun. This does not effect her.


Loads and Trailers: Yes


Leads: Yes


Catch in pasture: Yes in a smaller pasture however sometimes in a bigger pasture.


Stands for farrier: Yes


Ties: Yes


Bathes: She is not a fan of baths but allows.
