She is an exracehorse.She was abused at the track and then sent to my farm to rehab.To be honest,the rehab did not work.If she is just out in the field she is fine.She will approach you but she will not let you mess with her(tie,groom,etc.)What she needs is somewhere to be turned out and left alone.Her owner does not want to come get her or deal with her.But I need her of my farm,not because she causes problems,but due to the fact I have relocated my business and she is of no use to me. 615 668 6211

Now reading this just hurts my heart to no end. I don't understand how they can say this horse is of no use to them. Every horse has a purpose, maybe not with every person, but every horse DOES have a use. And the fact they say rehab didn't work, thats a crock. Maybe they just didn't rehab her in the way that SHE needed to be rehabed. We all know that no two horses can be trained in the exact same manner with the exact same results. If I didn't have way too many horses myself I'd call in a heartbeat. Is there anyone out there willing to take this mare, take the time needed to earn her trust and show her a good home? Come on people this is pitiful. Why dump a horse b/c she's been abused? Keep trying don't quit on her. I hope someone finds this lil mare and gives her a good home.
