DUBAWI WOWIE

https://secondstride.org/horse/dubawi-wowie/
4 yo 16 hh filly
She retired in March with a slab fracture and is finishing up rehab. She is ready to start light riding a few days each week at the walk and light trotting. See video in stories.
She should be fully healed later this summer and suitable for flat work.
Wowie is a very kind and gentle filly. She takes everything and stride and hasn’t been reactive to anything. Just look at her soft eye. She is lovely to work with and ride. A barn favorite. She turns out well with other mares. Her adoption fee will be half off if paid and picked up by 8/1.

TOSHO
4 yo 16.2 hh ottb

https://secondstride.org/horse/tosho/
Lovely boy with a fun and energetic trot. He is a gem to ride and will make a great trail partner. He does have kissing spine so he can’t jump but he has done well on long trail rides and hacks around the farm. His adoption fee will be half off if adopted and picked up by 8/1

Our hearts go out to all who knew and loved Mr. Lukas. Wayne was a large supporter of aftercare and a friend to our program. Whatever we asked of him, the answer was always , “yes.” Thank you Wayne. You will be deeply missed.

BACK LOT

https://secondstride.org/horse/back-lot/
7 yo 15.3 hh ottb mare.
Lottie is a special mare who will capture your heart like she has captured ours. Once you get to know her, you will understand her quirks and she will do fine. She stands well for the vet and farrier if they take their time with her and are patient. She has come a long way and we are so proud of her. She is relaxed under saddle and enjoys an easy trail ride. She will do well as a babysitter or companion as she gets along great with other mares. She is not breedable. Her adoption fee will be reduced by half if she is adopted and picked up by August 1.
If you love the quirky ones who have a good heart, have a look at our Lottie girl.
