Breed: Thoroughbred
Height: 16.1hh
Adoption Fee: $1,000
Location: Hempstead
Adopter experience needed: Advanced
Training level: Broke to ride.
Current assessment and personality: Zippy is a sweet mare who has unfortunately ended up in the wrong hands one to many times therefor we will be very picky about where she goes to ensure that she ends up in the perfect home for her. She came to us with a previous brand from another rescue thus telling us that she has had a rough past. This lady is looking for a soft landing as she has so much potential and so much to offer to a willing adopter. She has been ridden at the trot and canter with us and has smooth gates. She is one that can tend to have some anxiety under saddle however has never offered anything bad. We feel Zippy can really excel with a patient adopter.
Potential: No limitations
