My name is
Juniper!

Meet Juniper! A golden girl ready for a fresh start!

Juniper is a striking 13 year old mare who's ready for someone who gets her. Life hasn't always been kind to Juniper, but this resilient gal is ready for someone she can trust and bond with on her next adventure. She's halter trained, leads well, and has past experience under saddle but has not been tested thoroughly yet. Juniper has got a lot of personality, and if you have worked with moody mares before, you know exactly what we mean! Although she is just getting started working under saddle again, we think she would likely be suitable for light to moderate work once she regains her fitness.

Juniper was let down by people in the past. We can tell she wants to trust again, and would do best working with just one rider/handler so she can bond and connect. She seems to be more comfortable with women, so a female rider may be best, but is not a requirement. She is looking for an experienced person who is ready and willing putting in the time and effort to get to know her and build the much needed connection between horse and human.

Although currently sound, Juniper's x-rays show she has had some level of ongoing chronic laminitic inflammation in her front feet in the past. Because of this, she is not suited to pasture/grass turnout and needs a low sugar diet, consistent farrier work to keep her feeling her best and may need support with pain medication from time to time.

She is up to date on vaccines, teeth and feet.
