About this item

Breed: Thoroughbred, Grade Gender: Mare Age: 12 Height: 15.3hh Color: Dark Bay Disciplines: Prospect for Any Discipline, Companion Adoption fee: $1 Location: Owner to Owner Program — Woodbine, MD Lucky 7 is part of a group of nine horses currently available through our program after the passing of one owner left the remaining elderly owner unable to continue their care. Based on a brief dental assessment, we estimate her to be approximately 12 years old. She appears to stand between 15.2–16hh. Lucky was initially cautious during our visit but did allow herself to be caught and haltered with some patience. Beyond that, her level of handling and training is unknown. Due to her hesitancy and limited exposure, she would benefit from working with an experienced trainer or handler who is comfortable building confidence and establishing foundational skills with under-handled horses. With appropriate groundwork and time, she may be a candidate for further training. We did observe a scar on her right hind cannon; however, at the time of evaluation, she appeared sound and showed no visible signs of discomfort. She is a sturdy mare who maintains her condition well and appears to be an easy keeper. Currently, she is living out 24/7, barefoot and unblanketed, and has done well in this environment through the winter. She is not up to date on routine care beyond daily feeding, so her new owner should be prepared to address Coggins, vaccinations, deworming, dental, and farrier needs. She has been turned out successfully with both mares and geldings. Lucky would be best suited for someone with the experience and patience to bring her along at her own pace. With the right approach, she has the potential to develop into a rewarding partner. If you’re interested in learning more, we would be happy to connect with you.
