A Lifetime of Experience and a Gentle Temperament

Ideal Home for a Senior Horse
At her age, Cashew is looking for a specific type of home where she can thrive. The perfect situation for her would be:
-
Companion Animal: She would be a wonderful, calming companion for another horse or as a pasture pet.
-
Light Riding: With a veterinarian’s approval, she may be suitable for very light, walk-only trail rides or lead-line duty for a small child. Any riding must be based on her comfort and health.
-
Retirement Home: Most importantly, she needs a home that understands the care requirements of a senior horse, including regular dental checkups, potential dietary supplements, and shelter from extreme weather.
Care Considerations for a Senior Mare
We are committed to ensuring Cashew’s forever home is her last. Prospective adopters should be prepared for the responsibilities of caring for a geriatric horse, which includes:
-
Senior-Friendly Diet: Easy-to-chew feed, possibly soaked pellets or hay cubes, and constant access to quality forage.
-
Regular Veterinary and Farrier Care: Routine check-ups and maintenance are essential for her comfort and well-being.
-
Adequate Shelter: Protection from wind, rain, and extreme heat is a must.
