My story

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

Name: Stya


Animal ID: 287612


Gender: Mare


Age: 27 years old


Breed: Quarter Horse


Height: 15.2hh


Adoption Fee: $600


Location: Hempstead


Adopter experience needed: Beginner/Intermediate


Training level: Broke to ride


Current assessment and personality: Don't let this lady's age fool you, she has so much more left to offer!
Stya is a laid back mare that gets along with everyone! She is very broke and an easy ride as she has a great foundation under saddle. We have discovered that she does require annual hock injections and chiropractic work to keep her comfortable. She recently received this in our care and she came out like a different horse to ride & much more comfortable! Due to her age and maintenance, she would be best suited for light riding.


Potential: Light riding


Health/lameness: Requires annual hock injections done by a vet. She remains on a daily joint supplement with us due to her age.
She does also need her feed soaked due to some missing/worn teeth.


Loads and Trailers: Yes


Leads: Yes


Catch in pasture: Yes


Stands for farrier: Yes


Ties: Yes


Bathes: Yes
