A non-profit horse rescue in Southern Vermont
Please Note: We recently found out through bloodwork that Iryna Dovetail is in foal. She was either exposed to a stallion in her previous home, at the auction or at the kill pen. We don’t know exactly when Iryna is due, but we believe it will be late fall/early winter. She will stay with us until the foal is weaned and each of them will be available for adoption when they are ready.
Iryna Dovetail is looking for her forever home! She seems to have had a rough life and it takes her a while to warm up to people and other horses. But with time she settles in well. She is a Hackney mare and is in her mid-teens. She’s pretty good about picking up her front feet and will pick up her back feet, however handling her back feet is still a work in progress. She needs a quiet and patient person who has the time to continue working with her. This pony is not suitable for a young child or a beginner, however would be fine for an older child or adult who has some horse experience and looking for a small project to gain some more horse experience. If you are interested in adopting one of our horses, please read our adoption requirements and process and fill out an application.
Adoption fee $500
