My story

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

Name: Nelli


Animal ID: 528453


Gender: Female


Age: 17 years old


Breed: Thoroughbred


Height: 14.3hh


Adoption Fee: $500


Location: Hempstead


Adopter experience needed: Advanced


Training level: Halter broke & started lunging with tack.


Current assessment and personality: Nelli is a sweet girl who has progressed so much in her trust of people and has become a completely different horse! She can be skittish and does better with soft cues and someone who will take their time with her. We have tacked her up before and she took everything well. Nelli is also a pro at lunging and very respectful of your space. We get the impression she has not yet had anyone sit on her back before.


Potential: No limitations


Health/lameness: No known issues


Loads and Trailers: Yes


Leads: Yes


Catch in pasture: Yes


Stands for farrier: In training. Picks up front feet great, still in training with her hind feet.


Ties: Yes


Bathes: Yes
