Sapphire

January 11, 2011 By Hanaeleh

17530321-2-largeSapphire
24-year-old Thoroughbred Mare
Rescued September 6, 2008

Sapphire is about 16.1 hands.  Sapphire was a previous show horse, and she has been trained both for jumping and dressage. She also does very well on trail, on the street, and was ridden in the Swallow’s Day Parade. She has done well in sensory clinics and goes through water and obstacles. Although she is older, she has a lot of energy and has a very floaty gait and beautiful leg extensions.  We have only ridden her English.

Sapphire would be wonderful for an intermediate or an experienced rider of any age; she has been used previously in lessons, but she does better when she is able to bond with one person.

She is currently barefoot and is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations.

If you are interested in adopting Sapphire, please fill out our horse inquiry form.

    Hi! I fell in love with Sapphire! Is she still available for adoption? If so, could you tell me more about her? Thank you!
    On the other hand, do you need help with the horses? I am an FEI certified trainer in all disciplines; I may come in handy.
