Skittles



Barn Name: Skittles

Breed: Percheron
Height: 17.2hh
Age: 19 y/o
Gender: Mare
Colour: Grey

Health: No Known Health Issues
Lameness: Arthritis. Also Stringhalt in Right Hind Leg, Some Days it Doesn't Bother Her, Some Days it Does!

Vices: None
Personality: Friendly. Easy to catch, lead, groom, tie, trailer, etc. Great with horses, ponies and donkeys. Pushy with the farrier but will get better with each trim. She also gets pushy and herd bound "if" you don't handle her on a daily basis, but super sweet if you pay attention to her on a regular basis. Loves Foals. Great Babysitter!

History/Training: Companion/Pet/Driving/Pleasure Riding/Broodmare. We took her for a trail ride and she happily plodded along with the other horses, she was excellent on the road.

Future/Suitability: Companion, Pet, Leadline. Very Light Occasional Backyard/Trail Riding At A Walk.

Additional Info: Skittles was adopted out in December 2012 as a companion, but she is no longer able to look after Skittles, so Skittles is looking for a new loving knowledgable permanent home.

Adoption Fee/Purchase Price: Free to a Loving Permanent Home. A Donation to HCW is Appreciated but Not Necessary!! The donation can be $$, tack, riding apparel, hay, feed, etc.

Donations are welcome .... $$, Hay, Feed, Supplements, Feed Store Gift Cards, Saddles, Tack, Riding, Apparel, Blankets (in good usable/sellable condition). We would also gratefully accept volunteer chiropractors, massage therapists, vets, dentists, farriers, etc. Please Email us if you are interested in helping out in some way! Thanks!

We no longer accept cheques due to all of the NSF cheques we have received in the past.We accept email money transfers or cash. We have well over $3500+ invested into Skittles during her time here at HCW, with her trailering, hay, feed, supplements, deworming, vet, farrier, etc, so we do understand we will be taking a loss, and we are used to that, but we do need to get something for her, as we cannot help more horses, ponies and donkeys until we find good homes for the ones that are here. The adoption fees are very important in keeping HCW running. Skittles needs and deserves a good permanent loving home. She has been patiently waiting since June 2011.

Current Status: Located in Kingston, ON - Available for Adoption/Sale or Fostering/Lease (Until Adopted). If you have any questions about Skittles 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 Skittles, 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 Senior Feed, Vaccinations, Teeth Floating, Chiropractor, Glucosamine/MSM Supplement, Farrier, Deworming, Blue Salt Block, Treats, Halter, Spring Turnout Sheet, Winter Turnout Blanket, Fly Mask, Fly Spray, Turnout Fly Sheet, Brushes, Lead Rope, etc. If you would like to help in any way, please email Claire at HCW for details.
