Height: Approx 15.1hh (will measure)
Age: 16 y/o

Health: Excellent

Vices: Not Good with Cows, Sheep, etc
Personality: Independent, Great Mother (She had 2 Colts), Not a Kids Horse, Can Be Very Moody (Ex. She can be thoroughly enjoying her grooming, and then 2 seconds later she will hate it!) I would suggest adding a "moody mare" supplement to her daily feed. Katie likes donkey jennies.
History/Training: Racing (Trotter) with a Mark of 2:03.2, 49 Starts, 3 Firsts, 6 Seconds, 9 Thirds. Last Race was in June 2005. Had a Colt in 2004 and in 2007. Katie was previously just a pet to an Elderly Couple after She Finished Racing
Future/Suitability: Great Parelli Project. With a Little Refresher Katie Could be Used for Driving, for Pleasure - or She could be Taught to Ride (We hope to get started on her under saddle within the next week or so). UPDATE: She wanted nothing to do with being tacked up, so she has not yet been ridden. Now that are our round pen is free again we are going to start parelli with her.
** CIVIC HOLIDAY SPECIAL ** - We have reduced Katie's adoption fee down to $100. Please know we have at least $2500 or more invested into Katie already but we hope the reduced price will help you in considering to adopt her and give her the loving permanent home she deserves, and has been patiently waiting for. In order to take advantage of this special price you will need to have your application approved, pay for Katie in full and have her picked up (or delivered at your expense) on or before Aug 3, 2009. Please email if you have any questions or need a trailering quote. Thanks!
Current Status: Located at a Foster Home in Myrtle, ON (North of Brooklin) - Available for Adoption/Sale or Fostering/Free Lease (Until Adopted). If you have any questions about Katie and/or would like to make arrangements to see her, please email Claire at HCWEquineRescue@sympatico.ca
SPONSORS NEEDED!!!: If you would like to help Katie, but are not able to Adopt or Foster her at this time perhaps you would be interested in Sponsoring her by helping to cover the costs of (or a portion of) her daily care - such as her Hay, Purina High Fat High Fibre Pellets, "Moody Mare" Supplement, Vet, Farrier, De-Worming, Blue Salt Block, Treats, Horse/Full Size Halter, Fly Mask, Brushes, Lead Rope, etc. If you would like to help in any way, please email Claire at HCW for details.
