My Right Horse Adoptable Horse of the Week: Frankie and Stella — August 24, 2021

Welcome to Horse Illustrated’s weekly installment of the My Right Horse Adoptable Horse of the Week, offered in partnership with The Right Horse. Frankie and Stella are this week’s adoptable horses. Check back weekly for a new featured horse so you can find your #righthorse.



Horses: Frankie, an 8-year-old 10-hand chestnut Miniature Horse gelding, and Stella, a 7-year-old gray Miniature Horse mare in Mt. Juliet, Tenn.
Organization: Hickory Hill Farm

Frankie and Stella are a special pair. Both Minis are rideable and gentle. They are very patient and enjoy attention. Frankie is approximately 8 years old and Stella is around 7 years old. Stella is blind in one eye. The eye is still there and not causing her issues; however, she does need to wear a fly mask during the day, as it can be sensitive. She is very calm on either side, and the loss of her sight on the side does not seem to affect her. As with most all Minis, these two will require very limited pasture/dry lot and a low-carb/low-sweets diet. Staff at Hickory Hill Farm would prefer these two be adopted together as they are great buds. Their adoption fee is $650. Could they be your #righthorse?
