Bella's Story

Bella is as sweet as her name implies. She is a 23 year old Quarter Horse mare and is not your typical red mare. She is lower in the herd pecking order making her a good companion to others. She is currently turned out with another mare and has done well even though she seems to prefer geldings. Shortly after her arrival here, she had one of her eyes removed due to chronic uvetis. She was already blind in that eye so it hasn't slowed her down one bit. She has the most adorable head tilt so she can take in the world with her remaining eye. We were told that she has been ridden in the past, but we have not evaluated that yet and will update this as we do! Any return to riding would have to be done slowly as it has been years since she was ridden with any consistency. <br/><br/>April 2026-we have begun working with Bella to get her back under saddle. We have tacked her up and she was a good girl for that! She is fine about the stirrups bumping her on the side as well as pressure in the saddle!<br/>She did great for her first time under saddle with us! Stood nicely for mounting and responded well to being bitless!<br/><br/><br/>Bella is also up to date on vaccines, a teeth float, hoof trim and is microchipped! If Bella sounds like the lady for you, please fill out our adoption application which you can find on our website and email farmanimals@nhspca.org Primary Color: Chestnut Secondary Color: White Age: 23yrs 2mths 2wks Animal has been Spayed
