A very kind, caring man reached out to us, hoping to find Dottie a place where she could regain trust, receive additional training, and ultimately find the perfect forever home. Dottie was originally purchased by his son-in-law, who became ill shortly afterward. Wanting to help, he took her in, hoping she would fit into his ranching program. Unfortunately, due to evident past trauma, Dottie proved more challenging than expected. As a mare, she caused issues in his all-gelding herd. We’re grateful to now be able to provide Dottie with exactly what she needs. She has a gentle nature, though it’s clear she hasn’t always been handled with gentle hands.
During Dottie’s training, it was clear she wasn’t rideable because of her past traumas. However, she has proven she genuinely enjoys human companionship, as well as companionship with other mares and even mini horses. Dottie would make the perfect companion horse to other mare(s), as she doesn’t fare well with geldings.
