Patina is an absolutely stunning mare with the potential to do AMAZING things— from pony club to western dressage—she could do it all! She raced in Texas until she was 4 or 5 years old and then was restarted as a barrel horse in Minnesota. Before she landed at Refuge Ranch Ministries, she was left sitting for a couple of years. She’s a sweet and sensitive Thoroughbred who will do best with a thoughtful, calm rider. She has never done anything naughty and appreciates being allowed to think about the “ask” from her handler so she can fully commit. She is a true people pleaser! Patina was recently restarted under western tack and has been trailered for vetting, had routine groundwork sessions, and was exposed to cattle. Could she be your #righthorse?
