Nick

August 25, 2011 By Hanaeleh

Rescued March 27, 2011

Adopted August 17, 2011

Nick is an older Quarter Horse who had a horrible luck with his owners. He had been abandoned and almost sent to slaughter or auction several times, through no fault of his own.  His owner was no longer able to care for him, but wanted to make sure that he would be safe, and so turned him over to Hanaeleh.  He was a very sweet guy who really loved kids and was great to ride, but his age kept him from being adopted. Eventually we found a woman with two daughters who wanted an older, well-trained horse that her daughters could ride in the arena and on trail.  Nick was a great fit, and now lives in Topanga Canyon, carting around his two girls!
