DOB: 1989
Height:
15 hh
Color: Flea
bitten grey
Markings:
None
Location:
Kempner, TX
Adoption Fee:
$350
Temperament:
Merry is a very
easy-going and smart
mare. She catches on
easily to her
surroundings and
training. She is very
well mannered and laid
back. She is very smart
and easily trainable in
any given situation.
Physical problems / health issues:
Interaction with horses:
She gets along very well
with all horses. She
immediately got along
with all her foster home
horse buddies with no
problems. When she first
came to her foster home
she had full access to a
5 stall barn and 1 acre
for 1 1/2 months - but
recently she has become
a part of her fosters
herd and now has made
friends with horses.
Immediately she and her
foal got along fantastic
with the entire herd -
like she had been with
them all her life. They
all take naps together
and watch out for each
other as several nap and
the others look on -
keeping a watchful eye.
Today Merry can be found
hanging out in 9 acres
of pasture with on
Arabian gelding, 2
quarter horse mares and
1 Shetland pony mare.
Interaction with people:
Very gentle and
reserved.
History: She was
seized due to neglect.
She was one of 18 horses
seized in East Texas.
Merry and her foal where
malnourished and
emaciated. Merry went to
her foster home on
December 23, 2006 where
she began her
rehabilitation. Her foal
was already weaned
because Merry had no
milk from her condition
to supply her baby. She
has probably been used
as a brood mare all her
life. I feel in my heart
this may be the first
time she has felt truly
free! When she was
seized she was stalled
up in knee deep mud and
feces - so she is truly
blessed to have found HFH.
Training / abilities:
Merry was evaluated
12/07. Merry is a very
tolerant horse and is as
sweet as can be. She
really wants to be loved
on but isn’t really sure
how to react to it. I
lunged and rode Merry
and she was very patient
even when she was
confused. I think that
this horse may have been
green broke at one
time. She is very eager
to learn and would
probably turn out to be
a great kids horse with
some regular handling
and training. Merry was
great to work with and
has a wonderful
temperament.

Merry is a very special

friend for life.
