Get to Know Adoptable Horse Silk
Meet Slik! This beautiful 8-year-old black tobiano mare is as striking as she is unique, with her bold markings and one brilliant blue eye that always catches attention. Behind her flashy looks is a gentle soul who just wants to feel safe and understood.
She has a calm presence in the pasture and enjoys spending time with her herd. While she can be a little cautious at first, once she trusts you, she’s affectionate and enjoys attention. At 8 years old, she’s in the prime of her life and ready for the next chapter with someone who will give her patience, kindness, and consistency.
She’s seeking an adopter who can give her the steady guidance she deserves and help her continue building confidence. With her good looks, sweet nature, and a willingness to connect, Silk has all the makings of a loyal companion.
