My story

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

Name: Virginia


Animal ID: 595244


Gender: Mare


Age: 25 years old


Breed: Quarter Horse


Height: 15.2 hh


Adoption Fee: $1000


Location: Houston


Potential: No potential limitations.


Adopter experience needed: Intermediate


Training level: Broke to ride


Current assessment and personality: With consistent riding, we have begun to see just how much potential this mare has! Virginia is not a push-style mare and has plenty of 'Go' with equal parts 'Woah'. Currently, we are working to build her confidence being away from pasture-mates, and are seeing improvements each day. She would do best in a home that will regularly work hands on with her.


Health/lameness: front shoes due to thin soles


Loads and Trailers: Yes


Leads: Yes


Catch in pasture: Yes


Stands for farrier: Yes


Ties: Yes


Bathes: Yes
