Name: Darling
Animal ID: 603739
Gender: Mare
Age: 7 years old
Breed: Quarter horse
Height: 14.2hh
Adoption Fee: $700
Location: Hempstead
Adopter experience needed: Advanced
Training level: Halter broke
Current assessment and personality: Darling is a personable, engaging horse who enjoys attention and human interaction. She likes to be involved, often seeking out connection from those around her. She is naturally alert and can be buddy-sour, and She may display behavioral challenges at times. These behaviors are believed to be related to an underlying hind-end issue, and they tend to show up more when she is uncomfortable or unsure, particularly in stressful or changing environments. Because of this, she will benefit from a calm, consistent routine and a handler who is patient, observant, and experienced with reading subtle cues.
Potential: Pasture pet or eventually a light riding horse
Health/lameness: Experiences hind end lameness/stiffness. She needs to stay on a joint supplement and could benefit from chiropractic and/or veterinarian care.
Loads and Trailers: Yes
Leads: Yes
Catch in pasture: Yes
Stands for farrier: No, requires sedation
Ties: Yes
Bathes: Yes
**Horses can be seen by appointment only following review and approval of an equine and farm animal adoption application.

All horses are up to date on vaccinations and vet work. Adoption fees are subject to change. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail us at barn@houstonspca.org.**
