Evie

Foaled in 1997, Evie began her career as an unsuccessful race horse in Arizona.  Fortunately, she found a second career as a hunter and was a valuable member of a show barn and partner for OHSET (Oregon High School Equestrian Team) for many years.  She taught several young riders horsemanship and jumping.  Evie was injured in a fall and despite attempts at rehabilitation could no longer be actively ridden and shown.  Unfortunately, she also foundered (for more information on this dangerous condition, read more here  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminitis#Founder ) and needed to retire.

Evie came to the sanctuary in July 2016 and is now pasture sound.  Early in 2017, she took on a little light work and even made a trip to the Oregon coast.  She’s feeling quite good and loves the extra attention.
