My story

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

Name: Jupiter


Animal ID: 523501


Gender: Mare


Age: 24 years old


Breed: Quarter Horse/Thoroughbred


Height: 14.3hh


Adoption Fee: $300


Location: Hempstead


Potential: Companion/Pasture Pet Only. Cannot be ridden.


Adopter experience needed: Beginner/Intermediate


Training level: Halter Broke


Current assessment and personality: Jupiter is a sweet mare who is generally very easy to handle. She stands great for the farrier, bathing, grooming, etc. She is looking for a home as a companion/pasture pet only and should not be ridden. She does act dominant in a herd setting so she would do well turned out with other dominant mares or geldings.


Health/lameness: Her confirmation puts her at greater risks of potentially developing leg injuries if ridden. She is pasture sound.


Vices: Can sometimes act buddy sour when left alone.


Loads and Trailers: Yes


Leads: Yes


Catch in pasture: Yes


Stands for farrier: Yes


Ties: Yes


Bathes: Yes
