Horses Available
At SAD, each horse is adopted out up to date in de-worming, Farrier, shots (including EEE and WNV) and teeth floated if necessary. A copy of the Vet’s receipt is given with the horse for your records.
We do not adopt our mares for breeding purposes.
"Lady Cassandra"
Aprox. 23 Year Old Clydesdale Mare
*Adopted*
Congratulations to Marie and Family of Breslau, Ont.!!!
Lady Cassandra was sent for meat by her last owner with bad teeth, wormy and emaciated. She came to us with a full udder so was a mother recently and most likely had many babies over the years with zero appreciation in the end.
On arrival, Lady Cassandra was salivating excessively when eating. She received dental work and at that time her age was determined to be in her early 20's. Her bite does not line up well so will need ongoing maintenance (yearly floating) to keep the hooks and sharp edges from returning. This, combined with her age and years of worm damage, has decreased her ability to absorb nutrients from her hay and feed.
L.C is the loveliest mare and has been only kind to us and the other horses here, including the donkeys, who she watched over at all times. We would like to see her in a situation where she can once again watch over little ones, as she seemed to like that the best. She is great with big horses also, but could get bossed around easily, so it is a must that she is with other non-aggressive horses. She is easy to handle, great with her feet and is just a dream to have around.
A home with a stall at night would be best so she can be left with a bucket of hay cubes and her feed to finish at her own leisure.
We have decided that L.C will be adopted out as Companion only, but could lead around a child on her back on occasion. She is sound but knowing her aprox. age, we don't want her to have to haul around the weight of an adult or have to pull a cart, even if just for pleasure. We want a home that will want to do for her, not a home that wants her to do for them.
Lady Cassandra, day of arrival at SAD....
