My name is
Heidi!

Name: Heidi

Animal ID: 567544

Gender: Female

Age: 24 years old

Breed: Quarter horse cross

Height: 13.2hh

Adoption Fee: $600

Location: Hempstead

Adopter experience needed: Beginner/Intermediate

Training level: Broke to ride

Current assessment and personality: Heidi is a very social and gentle mare. She gets along well with other horses and isn't very dominant. She is fully broke to ride and neck reins. She is mostly quiet, but very willing. However, once she is tacked up and ready, she loves having a job and is excited for new challenges and obstacles. She seems very forgiving under saddle therefore we think she would make a good beginner horse. Due to her age, we would like to pair her with a rider who is gentle and understanding of her needs.

Potential: No limitations

Health/lameness: Heidi is blind in her right eye, but it does not affect her. A lot of her teeth are worn down and she is missing some of her lower incisors. As a result, her tongue can sometimes fall out of her mouth, which is just a cosmetic issue and does not seem to bother her. We have her on soaked alfalfa pellets. Although she still seems to be comfortable eating regular forage at this time, we recommend keeping her on the pelleted feed.
