Cashew’s Details

• Breed: American Quarter Horse

• Height: 14.3 hands (hh)

• Gender: Mare

• Color: Palomino

• Age: 30 years young

A Lifetime of Experience and a Gentle Temperament

Cashew embodies the classic Quarter Horse temperament: calm, willing, and incredibly intelligent. Having reached the wise age of 30, she has seen it all and is unflappable. She is:

• Exceptionally Gentle: Perfect for handlers of all experience levels, including beginners and children (with adult supervision).

• Great with Others: She is peaceful and gets along well with other horses, making her an easy addition to any herd.

• A Willing Partner: While retired from strenuous work, her cooperative nature makes her a pleasure to be around.

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.
