Fancy - Adopted (2017)
|
|
Breed(s): Quarter Horse
Gender: Mare Age: 2002 Color: Grulla Temperament: 4 Description: Fancy is a Quarter Horse mare that is a beautiful Grulla color. She is great on trails and in the arena, but can be forward. She has a good walk/trot/canter, with good field manners, but we are working to improve her ground manners. She has a good temperament, and is very trusting even with limited sight in her right eye due to trauma prior to coming to us. She is a horse that wants to please, and has potential to go in almost any direction her rider wants. She has speed and enjoys playing around as a gaming horse, but you can also slow her down if something like pleasure riding is what you would prefer. We recommend her for an intermediate rider because she still needs improvement on her ground manners, and her sensitivity to leg pressure which cues her to move out. |
Winter - ADOPTED (2015)
|
|
Breed(s):
Gender: Age: Color: Temperament: Description: |
Thoroughbred
Mare Circa 2003 Bay 2 Winter is an off the track Thoroughbred who came to us in 2014 as a surrendered horse for Northern Virginia. She is a sweet mare who is calm in nature and has wonderful field and ground manners. Lisa had been looking for a calm younger Thoroughbred who could help reintroduce her to the show ring in low level dressage and hunt seat. After previously trying a couple of prospects at our rescue, Lisa had almost given up until we remembered Winter! Lisa came out for a second farm visit to try Winter under saddle, and they ended up being a perfect fit! We are so excited that our sweet Winter found a new loving home. We can't wait to hear about their progress in and out of the show ring! Congratulations Winter and Lisa! |

Mare Circa 2005 Paint 3 Jasmine was adopted by Dana in July of 2015. Jasmine came to Winterfrost after being used as a research horse at the vet school for scarring analysis. Jasmine has been a long time favorite of Dana's at Winterfrost ever since Dana began volunteering at the farm and working with Jasmine to help her become a better all around horse. Dana's hard work paid off, and she has even taken Jasmine to the beach for the American Heart Association Beach Ride fundraiser this year. Congratulations to Jasmine and Dana for their new life together, and we wish them all of the best! |

He still hates his stall, even when he is being fed breakfast and dinner in it! But Dawn and he are working on his claustrophobia. Force's new name is Caleb, and we think it is fitting for him.

After allowing Jewel some time to become accustomed with her new surroundings, we started her until saddle to see what she could do. It didn't take her long for her to remember her training!

Ty Bo "Demi" - ADOPTED (2014)
|
Breed(s):
Gender: Age: Color: Temperament: Story: |
Registered Arabian
Mare 15 Bay 4 Demi came to us because her owner could no longer afford her. She had not been ridden for several years when she came to us, but was trained as a hunter/jumper. She was a bossy mare, but after putting in much time under saddle, she was brought to the point where we felt comfortable putting inexperienced riders on her for trail rides. After being used at boy scout camp for 2 years, one of the camp employees began to lease her and placed her in a hunter/jumper training program, which Demi loved! In the Summer of 2014, the camp employee, Sam, officially welcomed Demi into her family by adopting her. Congratulations to Demi and Sam! |
