Ethel

---

Ethel  was a sweet older lady.  She's was one of our super seniors at 20+ years.  We suspected she hasd Cushing which gave her a curly coat.  

Felix's a handsome 20 year old gelding.  He's been at the sanctuary for about 8 weeks.  He is a reserved gentleman who is very respectful. He loves his grain and isn't pushy about it.  He recently got his teeth floated and behaved beautifully for the vet and the trailer ride.  He appears sound and we will evaluate his riding abilities here soon. 

Clementine is one of the newest additions to the sanctuary. She's a sweet little Arab cross mare. She's friendly and social and making great friends here.  She's a beautiful dark bay and we can't wait to see her shine! 

Clementine has wonderful ground manners and the first to great you at the gait. She's been touchy about her feet and we are working on desensitization. However she seems to come around quickly to training and we are sure someone put a lot of work into her at one point.  

She did great for saddling and doesn't seem to mind being away from the herd. 

Moose found his way to Sophia Stables as an owner surrender. This poor boy had been left at a local boarding barn.  Before being abandoned  Moose had gotten cloud boots but they never had been removed and his poor feet had been rubbed raw. When a trainer at the barn took him in, she realized he would need some extra tlc and that's when we were able to help him out.   Since taking Moose in, he has struggled with founder. He is appears to be coming around and will be available for adoption as a pasture pet as soon as he is cleared by our ferrier. 

Moose has had some ground work and is super affectionate. He's the kind of horse that meets you at the gate. He does well in a small and large herd but does tend to be a bit herd bound.  He's a middle of the her horse. He is in his late teens and approximately 14.3 hands.

Rh Miss Yella Sonny aka Roxie is a  former APHA/AQHA halter horse reserve champion.  She was a broodmare after that and ended up in the pen in July/Aug 2023. She was in rough shape.  She's foundered and lost a sweet of twins this fall.  We are hoping to get her healthy but she's got a long road. 

Agnes is an older Belgian mare. She has the kindest eyes.  It is said that she broke to ride and drive but right now she's just resting and gaining weight.  She's easy to catch and will let you approach her when she's laying down.  She's the perfect cuddle bug who would be happy to be a retired old lady.

Winchester is a sweet happy go lucky boy.  He does suffer from heaves  and does best with full time turn out.  He is very respectful on the ground and definitely had been a working horse before we pulled him in September of 2021.  

Winchester is a bit of a hard keeper due to his heaves.  However, he is a great eater and has never turned his nose up at anything offered him.  He loves scratches and being brushed. He would make a great trail horse or kids horse.  He is perfect for light riding and loving on.  Winchester is 15 years old and roughly 15.2 hands.
