Get to Know Adoptable Horse Emma



Meet this week’s adoptable horse, Emma!

Emma was surrendered to Equine Rescue and Adoption Foundation, Inc. (ERAF) with her daughter Lucy. She was never halter broken and, although she was treated kindly, Emma had mostly been unhandled. Her motherly disposition has her well-loved by all her pasture mates. Emma prefers a quiet handler with a soft approach. With patience, Emma holds the potential to become a nice riding horse. ERAF believes she would be best suited for English or Western pleasure riding, or trail riding. With the right training, she may one day also be suitable for competition.

This beautiful bay roan mare’s adoption fee is $1,500. She is located in Palm City, Fla.
