My story

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

Name: Esmerelda


Animal ID: 490086


Gender: Mare


Age: 5 years old


Breed: Quarter horse


Height: 15hh


Adoption Fee: $500


Location: Hempstead


Adopter experience needed: Advanced


Training level: Halter Broke. Lunging with tack. Not broke to ride.


Current assessment and personality: Esmerelda is a sweet young mare with an easy going personality. She was adopted from us 2 years ago and has recently come back to us. The past 2 years she was mostly a companion horse. When she first arrived to us in 2023 as a 3 year old, she was not yet halter broke and we had started her groundwork/had her lunging in tack. She has always been such a fun and rewarding mare to work with and picks up quickly on what you are asking of her. She will require a refresher with groundwork and tack as it has been 2 years since she wore a saddle/was consistently worked with. Take her home and start her your way!


Potential: No limitations


Health/lameness: No known issues


Loads and Trailers: Yes


Leads: Yes


Catch in pasture: Yes


Stands for farrier: Yes


Ties: Yes, but still in training.


Bathes: Yes
