Gypsy's Story
CURRENT RIDER LEVEL - Confident Beginner- knowledgeable with ongoing care for Navicular Disease<br/><br/>Gypsy is a 2015 Paint mare standing 15.2 hands and weighing approximately 1,070 lbs. Gypsy is a quiet, well-mannered mare who integrates well into a mixed herd of mares and geldings. In-hand, she is gentle and calm. She is easy to catch, leads well, and stands quietly for grooming. While generally easygoing, Gypsy is still a mare and may occasionally pin her ears in protest if she is uncomfortable, requiring light, appropriate correction.<br/><br/>Gypsy came to us with a history of navicular disease in both front hooves. She is currently sound on full turnout with shoes, leather pads, and no additional maintenance. However, to remain a comfortable and consistent riding horse, she will require ongoing corrective farrier work, potential periodic joint injections, long-term maintenance with medications such as Equioxx, and riding primarily on soft, well-maintained footing such as an arena with deep sand.<br/><br/>Although navicular disease is progressive over time, Gypsy is well worth the investment. She is a lovely ride—sensitive and responsive to seat, leg, and vocal cues. She is trained in multiple disciplines including English hunt seat, ranch riding, and trail. She enjoys working contesting patterns and would make an excellent candidate for a confident beginner in a structured program such as 4-H or for enjoyable trail riding.<br/><br/>If you have the time, resources, and commitment to provide the ongoing care she requires, Gypsy would be a wonderful and rewarding partner.<br/><br/>Gypsy is only available to a home that understands navicular disease and is prepared for the long-term management it requires.<br/><br/><br/>To get approved, please complete a lifetime lease application and email it to info@wyhumane.org <br/>Include with your completed application, pictures of your property including your barn, stall, or run-in shed, pasture, water source, and fencing both close up and a corner picture. <br/><br/>Links to the application and our policies.
