Temperament:
Ribbon is calm and
absolutely loves
attention.
Physical problems /
health issues:
According to the vet,
severe malnutrition,
anemia, and wave mouth.
She is on a rehab diet.
Interaction with horses:
Ribbon gets along with
other horses very well.
She is in a pasture with
other “red hat equines”,
and even still, she is
at the bottom of the
pecking order.
Interaction with people:
Ribbon is tremendously
social with people.
She will hug you when
you brush her, and look
soulfully from her
beautiful eyes. Even
as starved as she is,
she will lift her head
up from grazing on good
green grass when being
brushed, as if to savor
every minute of kind
hands touching her.
History:
Ribbon was seized by law
enforcement and awarded
to Habitat for Horses. .
Training / abilities:
Has not been assessed
yet. We know she
leads, loads, ties and
stands very well for the
farrier. She stands
patiently for baths and
fly spray and grooming,
so she probably is a
definitely “been there,
done that” kind of
mare. We do know that
most recently, she was
used as a brood mare.

Other comments:
Ribbon is a beautiful
girl, and has a
tremendous heart. She
is very social and
friendly, both to people
and other horses. She
is about 300 pounds
underweight (vet said
she weighed 640 when
seized) so she has a
long rehab road ahead of
her…but she’s got the
spark back in her
eyes!!!!
