Zera originally came to us July 31, 2023 from a rescue in Wyoming. She is currently about 8 years old, and 14.2h. We had originally paid for Zera from the kill pen in Colorado, but we were instead sent a horse that we were told was mother “Birdie” now known as Athena. In this mix up, Zera was instead sent to the rescue in Wyoming that had originally paid for Birdie. We were contacted as informed that the two have been together all their lives and may be bonded. Zera was supposed to be bred, with an unknown due date. Zera finished quarantine in Wyoming, and we arranged for her transport to us for evaluation and rehoming. Zera we found was not pregnant, and had some very strong opinions that without the right management could have turned very bad for the handler. Her “go to” was trying to bite or kick when she was pushed too far from her comfort zone. We spent a lot of time working with Zera WITHIN her comfort zone, and with patience and understanding. Zera was adopted back in October 2024, but due to life circumstances changing for her adopter, she came back to us. Zera is a sweet girl, that needs someone who will be willing to take their time to build a bond with her – she has a lot of “mustang” type tendencies. She gets along with just about everyone in the herd. She is being re-started under saddle (we believe she has some training, but needs to find confidence in it). This girl deserves a forever home!
