Nora
Born in 2013.
Thoroughbred Mare
16.2 Hands High
Nora is a Bay Thoroughbred mare, never raced. She arrived at FHHR in April 2024. Currently, she is in refresher training and will WTC. An intermediate handler is needed as she has her typical spunky TB mare moments when in season. She has been a pasturemate with mares and geldings, and is quite compatible with both. Nora would make a wonderful companion horse. She definitely likes her meals and is very motivated by treats, and loves a "good girl" or other words of praise. She has some conformation issues - offset at the knee (pigeon-toed) with some manageable arthritis in her knees (she received X-rays at her Spring 2025 exam). Therefore, it is recommended that she mostly walk with some trotting, only light cantering, and no jumping. She stands well for vet and farrier and at the tie-ring for grooming. She is not a big fan of a dental float and will need slight sedation for her dental visits. Nora is UTD on her vaccines, as well as vet annual exams and farrier/dental visits. On tacking up, she will put her ears back and swish her tail for a little show, but will stop the fuss at a firm "No". She really enjoys working under saddle in the arena and is very proud of herself when she is praised by her rider. She will make a great trail horse as she has a solid mind and is not spooky.
Adoption Fee $1000 - will increase with additional training
Nora is currently sponsored by Debbie N. and Charles H.
