Mare

~1983
Height:
14.0 hh

Location:
Hitchcock, TX
Adoption Fee:

Temperament:
Marlena was alone for
years so it has taken
her time to get used to
all of us – to being
part of a herd again.
She likes a routine
especially her own
stall. She is sweet and
you can tell she wants
to get close to you but
tends to walk away.
Interaction with horses:
Marlena does well with
the other horses but
hasn’t paired up with
anyone.
Interaction with people:
Marlena doesn’t mind
being on her own and she
continues to learn to
trust. She leaves the
barn as soon as her
meals are over and heads
down the pasture. While
she’s always waiting
either at the gate or in
the barn for breakfast
and dinner she tends not
to search you out for
attention. But
something happened a
couple of weekends ago
that led me to believe
she wants her own little
girl. A troop of Girl
Scouts visited and met
all the animals on the
farm. Marlena walked up
the pasture and came to
me. I introduced her to
the girls and said she’s
a little shy and won’t
let you get real close.
About that time Marlena
walked up to the girls,
touched each one and let
them love all over her.
I do believe that she
once had her very own
little girl who she
loved dearly. I hope
she finds another little
girl who will dote on
her as she deserves.
History:
Marlena was with her Mom
until she was 11. To
the best of our
knowledge she was alone
with only human
interaction until
January 2008.
