Ella is a 17 year old registered Arabian mare.  She is easy to catch and stands well for the farrier.  Ella has a sweet personality and gets along well with horses and people.  She likes to eat carrots, apples, and even watermelon!  Ella has a history of cutaneous habronemiasis, which can flare up in hot weather.  Diligent fly control and regular deworming can keep this situation under control.  Ella is broke to ride but hasn't been ridden in five years.  Information about her riding ability will be added after she is evaluated.  If you're looking for a horse that will bond to you and especially to your other horses, Ella is the one for you!

Lilly was acquired with 64 ponies from a neglect situation in Lewisville, TX.  Lilly is friendly if she knows you, but she is very shy around strangers. Lilly was green broke to ride, and she had lots of energy and good forward motion when being ridden.  However, Lilly has not been ridden in a long time, so she will need an experienced rider or trainer to refresh and then continue her training. Lilly would benefit very much with a patient adopter who would give her the time she needs to learn to trust people. Once trained, Lilly could be a great working pony for the right adopter.  Lilly is a good-looking mare with great potential.
