Hidden Pond Farm Equine Rescue
Kahlua is a very special horse for us in many ways. She arrived to quarantine painfully thin and nervous. Through TLC, she is learning to trust again. She was transferred to our facility in June of 2022.
Since she has arrived, Kahlua has just started a wonderful journey. She is finally reaching out for attention and making human and horse friends alike. Her sweet face certainly commands love and scratches. She still quickly becomes nervous in new situations and has started cribbing. She is a very large young lady; at approximately three years old, she is easily over 16 hands and clearly has more growth in her future. She is curious and watchful. As she learns to relax and simply be a horse, she has a playful side that is starting to become evident.
As we usually rescue from the kill pen and/or auction, many of our horses arrive injured in some way and frequently can only be used as companion horses or for light riding only. Kahlua poses a unique challenge for us. Not only is her physical size beyond what we usually rescue, her age and soundness make her a fantastic adoption prospect. We have very high hopes for this mare to be a wonderful horse for a lucky person. However, due to her youth and size, she will need dedicated, professional training and has unique nutritional needs that is uncommon for our rescue. This is relatively new territory for us, and any assistance with the nutritional needs of this young and promising horse would be greatly appreciated.

Kahlua was purchased at auction. She is a young, vibrant, gorgeous Dutch Harness mare. She was acquired through a partnership with another rescue, Equine Rescue Network. She was terribly thin and needed TLC. -- Marissa Federico
