Adoption Fee: $500
Location: Hempstead
Adopter experience needed: Advanced

Current assessment and personality: Nelli is a sweet girl who has progressed so much in her trust of people and has become a completely different horse! She can be skittish and does better with soft cues and someone who will take their time with her. We have tacked her up before and she took everything well. Nelli is also a pro at lunging and very respectful of your space. We get the impression she has not yet had anyone sit on her back before.
