Lucky, People Helping Horses

Lucky
DOB: 2003
Height: 15.3
Breed: Thoroughbred
Sex: Mare
Color: Bay
Training: Off-The-Track, plus an additional 2 years under saddle with People Helping Horses, has attended schooling shows with our trainer



Found at a trail head in Skagit County by people out for a trail ride, Lucky was taken in by the county who then asked PHH to step in. A gorgeous Thoroughbred mare, she was pregnant and had been shot in the head above her right eye. Lucky gave birth to her filly Charm at our facility and took a much needed maternity leave before going under saddle. Once she entered the training program, she quite literally took off, impressing everyone with her skill and dedication.  She is still with us and is progressing with every ride! She is gaining strength and endurance at all three gaits. She is a very sweet horse that is ready for her own loving family and home.

2010 - Fall Update

Lucky was successfully adopted to a wonderful home in August of 2010; unfortunately, due to an out-of-state move, Lucky was returned to PHH in October.  Lucky’s adopter wanted to say a few things regarding her in hopes of quickly finding her a new home:

In Amy’s words:

I just wanted to write some experiences that I had with Lucky and feel free to post it on the website so people can have more information about her.

Lucky is an amazing horse and only deserves the best. My first ride on her, we went through tall brush and water and walked through cow fields. She barely even looked at the cows. She loves to run through open pastures and through water! As long as you’re confident and show her it’s ok, she will do anything. I never felt nervous or scared on her. She’s always willing to try new obstacles. She is such a fast learner. Once she knows what you’re asking of her, she does it and tries her hardest to do her best. She loves to talk to you, especially at feeding time! Her favorite treats are carrots. I know she will excel as an excellent dressage horse and trail horse. She loves exploring new places.

Thanks again Gretchen and all of PHH staff for being understanding. I know you will be able to find Lucky a great home.

2010 4th Qtr Update:

Lucky is back at our facility and is continuing with her training program; she is ready to go to her new home!
