Re-homing Agreement
Gorgeous... gray... Gracie! She's a calm, sweet 13 year old thoroughbred mare that's been both a west and east coast girl. Prior to arriving in Maryland, she lived in California where she thrived as a trail rider, enjoyed casual flat riding and was a lesson horse for youth. Gracie has both Western and English riding experience. We think Gracie has a lot of potential in a variety of disciplines and will be a wonderful horse for a loving adopter. Gracie will be available soon, so if you think she's your golden girl, inquire about adoption.
*Up to date on vaccinations.
