Can You Help Just One?

Clancey is a 25-ish year old Quarter/Arab mare that came to AAE through no fault of her own.  Her owner was moving and she was taken in by another family on an impulse to help, but her new family’s other horses were not accepting her.

Clancey has a pretty face and really loves attention and grooming.  Her previous owner rode her in all types of events:  trail riding, gymkhana, high school rodeo barrel racing, polebending, and parades.  Clancey has very good ground manners other than being a little pushy with her head.  She follows along by your side, turns both directions easily, stops and backs up on command.  She loads into trailer with no problem.

She stands for farrier with no fuss.  Pictured here riding in a halter with a lead rope.

Clancey is swaybacked, but recent vet exam indicated she was in good health cleared for light riding.  That being said, she’s an older mare and swaybacked, so a lighter rider is most appropriate.  We were told she is great for kids.  Her back teeth are worn to the gums, so she needs a diet of soaked pellets or soaked cubes. She is a very nice little horse — a bit spoiled and pushy right now, but responds well to signals and training. She is people oriented, lovable. She’d be a super horse for a child or teenager.

This sweet ol’ girl needs a home.  Do you have room?  Clancey is current with hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming.  She tested borderline insulin resistant and should get a daily thyroid supplement

This is the time of year we are overwhelmed with requests for help with horses.  If you’re interested in adopting or fostering, please contact AAE.
