Strapping Beauty
Strapping Beauty
Beauty is a one-eyed wonder pony, 23 year old off the track Standardbred. She only raced twice before ‘retirement’ and was likely Amish transportation and/or broodmare for the middle of her life. She spent four years as a family trail horse, rehomed when her kid wanted a barrel horse and her stifle prevented her from being able to compete in that discipline. While she does ride, she is at the point in life where ‘pasture companion’ is a much more comfortable job description for her, and so she now lives as a sanctuary companion.
Beauty is a textbook been there, done that mare. If she thinks she can, she will. In other words, no beginner handlers for her because she will walk all over you. The definition of an easy keeper, she requires very little ‘special’ care, maintaining well on hay/pasture and twice per day feeding.
She lives out 24/7 with the option of shelter, and has lived with other mares or geldings. She is UTD on all care including deworming, farrier, vaccinations and Coggins.
If you’d like to become a weekly, monthly, or one-time sponsor of Beauty’s regular care costs (feed, hay, farrier, deworming, annual vetting), we’d love to have you join our Safe Harbor family.
