Horse: Cool Belle, a 16-hand 16-year-old bay Thoroughbred mare in Howell, Mich.
Organization: Horses’ Haven



Following a strong racing career, Cool Belle became a successful eventer, who has shown up to Training Level. She is also fond of a good hack across the countryside. She was owner surrendered due to changes in circumstances. She is now looking for another wonderful home where she can continue doing what she does best. She knows her job under saddle, is a forward mover, is responsive, and carries herself well.
