Trabuco Canyon, CA: Delilah- 9 y/o Thoroughbred mare needs home

By

We rescued Delilah when her owner abandoned her at a neighboring facility. She had a nail stuck in her foot from a shoe that had twisted, and had been left in a stall for months. It took several months for us to put weight back on her, and then also to get Delilah pain-free.  She is now able to be ridden, and is a very sweet girl.

A person offered to take Lexie for her lesson program, but her vet said that Lexie would not be able to perform the work required for her program.  Lexie was a trained show horse, and did reining and barrel racing in her younger days.
