Organization: Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue, Shoals, W.Va. (now in training at MB Equine in Indiana)
Get to Know Adoptable Horse Nyssa
Nyssa is a stock-type Paint mare who requires an upper level rider and will need someone with a good trainer as a resource for lessons and potentially additional training.
Nyssa has pushed and sorted cattle at the stockyards, gone on a weekend overnight camping trip, packed saddle bags, ridden double, ponied other horses, worked on obstacles, and successfully ridden in a back cinch. Nyssa will walk, trot, lope, stop, and back. She has the prettiest little jog and all of her gaits are smooth as can be. She has potential to be a playday horse or even a western pleasure horse.
She is great in the field with mares and geldings, and low in the pecking order. She is easy to catch and also content being in a stall. Nyssa stands for bathing, grooming, saddling, mounting, and dismounting. She loads and unloads in the trailer with ease. She hauls well with zero problems. She has all the brains, size, and looks you can ask for!
Nyssa headed to training in February and will be adoptable soon from MB Equine in Indiana.
