Adoptable Horse: Lillian, a 17-year-old 15.0hh grade mare Organization: West Virgina Horse Network, Elkview, W.Va.
Now available for adoption, Lillian is a sweet-natured mare who needs an adopter with a soft and gentle approach to horsemanship. She gets along with other horses. She also stands great for the farrier and even to get a bath. She also loads amazing.
She is a Tennessee Walking Horse type and has a lovely gait. She recently attended a horsemanship clinic and Fun Show and did great with activities on the ground, including trail obstacles. Lillian had an eye removed, so she still needs a lot of reassurance but has a ton of try and a great attitude.
Lillian will need to be kept out of the direct sun and/or provided with sun protection.
While there is no physical reason why Lillian could not be ridden, West Virginia Horse Network believes her preference is to be a pretty pasture unicorn. She will do an absolutely amazing job at that because she is stunning with a luxurious mane and tail.
Lillian is currently being fostered in Mason County, W.Va.Photo courtesy West Virginia Horse Network
