 Eureka
Breed:
Arabian/Quarter Horse
Sex: Mare
DOB: ~2000
Height:
15.0 hh
Color:
Flea-bitten Grey
Markings:
Location:
Lubbock, TX
Adoption Fee:
$500
Temperament:
Eureka is sweet and
calm. She takes
everything in stride and
is very tolerant of
anything that comes her
way. She has the
potential to be
“bomb-proof.” She is a
content horse.
Physical problems /
health issues:
She has a stretched
belly and a sway in her
back, probably as a
result of freely
breeding before she was
seized. She came into
HfH care in very poor
condition including
being underweight and
pregnant. She gave
birth, weaned her foal,
and now has good muscle
tone and is a healthy
weight. Her coat is
full and soft; her mane
and tail are thick and
healthy. Her eyes are
bright. She is an easy
keeper.
Interaction with horses:
Eureka is in the middle
of a small herd and is
confident in her place.
She respects the alpha
mare and does not bully
those lower than her.
Interaction with people:
When she came into HfH
care, Eureka was very
wary of people and chose
to isolate herself in
the far end of the
pasture. She has
learned to trust humans
and is now fine with
everyone. She moves
easily among people.
She loves to be brushed
and enjoys the
attention. She comes
when her foster family
members whistle for
her.
History: Very
little known except she
was part of the
Palestine 18 seizure.
Training / abilities:
Eureka is very rideable.
Her favorite speed is
slow and easy. She has
had children, good
riders, and virtual
non-riders on her back
without any problems.
Given a choice, she
would probably rather
not be ridden but does
nothing to protest
it.
