In the market for a new trail riding horse? Try adopting a trail horse at this week’s horse adoption drive. Here are two horses that will be perfect for your new trail riding partner.
Quarter Horse cross Mare 13 years old Gray, 14.2 hands
Our first trail horse through this adoption drive is Skye. A 14.2 hand gray Quarter Horse cross, 13-year-old mare rescued by Heart of Phoenix.
Skye rides (W/T/C) and drives. Ties, clips, and loads. Sound and up-to-date on shots. Skye is sensitive and forward without being reactive or spooky. Easy keeper and a calming presence in the herd. She requires a foundation of trust and can be strong when nervous. If you are interested in Skye, please be willing to spend at least a month gaining her trust. Once earned, this old soul will take you anywhere.
Skye is currently fostered in Central Virginia within easy reach of Washington, DC, as well as Richmond and Charlottesville, VA. Please contact alexbhess@yahoo.comwith any questions

Thoroughbred Mare 14 years old
Our second trail horse through this adoption drive is Jane. Jane has a loving personality and will make a great partner for someone special.
Jane raced as a two-year-old and has been ridden as a hunter/trail horse, and lately a volunteer has done some cross country with her. She is a beautiful mover.
She needs a rider with quiet hands, consistency and confidence. She does best with access to turn out.
