About this item

Breed: Tennessee Walking Horse Gender: Mare Age: 13 Height: 14.2hh Color: Palomino Disciplines: Trail Riding, Gaited Adoption fee: $2,200 Location: Kentucky Humane Society Equine CARE — Louisville, KY Bubbles is a 14.2 hh 13 year old champagne palomino, gaited, Tennessee Walking Horse mare who was seized with six other horses in a neglect case in Scott County, Kentucky. Under the care of Scott County Animal Care and Control, Bubbles was successfully treated, refed, and brought back to health, but Bubbles and the horses in her group were mostly unhandled for a year while their case was under investigation. Bubbles has a large, healed scar across her chest; the cause of the scar is unknown. During evaluations, Bubbles has demonstrated the basics of roundpenning, lunging, yields the shoulders and haunches, basic ground work, and has enjoyed long grooming sessions and baths. In recent training sessions, Bubbles has quickly improved her ground manners and shows a willingness to learn. Under saddle, Bubbles has demonstrated a walking gait when asked for more forward. In riding evaluations, she has worked in a side pull and has been ridden in a snaffle but is very green under saddle and currently is only appropriate for advanced riders and trainers or would need training tune-up to be an appropriate mount for less experienced riders. Bubbles is very attached to Reba, a mare that was included in her rescue group. Bubbles has not been evaluated under saddle without Reba nearby. Due to a full year off of work, Bubbles will need to work with a knowledgeable trainer to reestablish riding basics and to advance her handle under saddle. We would love to see Bubbles adopted to the same home as Reba. Bubbles is very social and enjoys meeting new people during tours. Under the tutelage of a professional or very experienced trainer/rider, Bubbles would likely enjoy a trail riding career. Kentucky Humane Society is a rescue; this horse is for adoption, not for sale. Message Kentucky Humane Society here on tacktack to ask about Bubbles and the adoption process.
