Orange County, CA: 22 y/o Dutch Warmblood mare needs home

By

"Jumara" is a very well bred 22-year-old imported Dutch Warmblood, used as a broodmare and dressage horse.  She is sound, barefoot, and a relatively easy keeper as long as she's not in a pasture environment.  (She is the lowest in the pecking order and loses weight from not standing up for herself.)  She is a sweet girl, and very sensitive, so will need a kind rider.  She is currently being ridden in dressage at the OC Fairgrounds.

The owner has not come to see the horses in several months, and the board is in arrears.
