Galvinel-Available for Adoption!
Wednesday, July 24 2013
4 yr old, 16hh Thoroughbred mare “Galvinel” is available for adoption in Marysville, OH for $500. Anyone looking for a hunter, eventer, polo, or pony club horse this is your girl. She is extremely self-confident and likes to work in a crowd which is not typical of a horse just coming off the track. She is not afraid to march right through a group of mares in her turn out group and get them to do what she wants them to do. On top of that she is athletic, balanced, and forward-thinking plus the fact that she is brave and these are all traits that would make her a nice eventing prospect as well. She will require a slightly more advanced rider that can keep her on task and focused to get the most out of her natural ability.
