About this item

Breed: Grade Gender: Mare Age: 4 Height: 14.1hh Color: Chestnut Disciplines: Prospect for Any Discipline Adoption fee: $850 Location: Kentucky Equine Adoption Center — Nicholasville, KY 2022 14.1 HH Chestnut Grade Mare Flora arrived at the Kentucky Equine Adoption Center in December 2025 alongside two other mares, Fauna and Merryweather, from the feral herds of eastern Kentucky. Since then, she has made wonderful strides and continues to build confidence through patient, consistent handling. Flora is now comfortable being stalled and is halter-broke, and she continues to develop her foundation through groundwork. She is becoming more comfortable having her halter put on and removed, picking up and holding her feet, standing for grooming, and being caught and led. She has also successfully had her feet trimmed and is gaining confidence walking through the barn aisle. More recently, Flora has been introduced to a saddle, and our trainers are beginning ground driving to prepare her for the next step toward riding in the arena. Each new experience strengthens her trust in her handlers and builds the skills she will need as her training progresses. Although Flora is still early in her training, she has demonstrated a willingness to learn and responds well to a calm, consistent approach. She has come a long way since arriving at the Center, and we look forward to seeing her continue to develop as she gains experience. Flora currently receives 3 quarts of Hallway Feeds Edge 14® daily to support her nutritional needs. Flora will thrive with an experienced adopter who is comfortable continuing the education of a young, lightly started horse. She will benefit from a patient, confident handler who can provide consistent guidance and help her build on the foundation she has developed at the Center.
