Grand Flare – Tattoo #ZV236

Birthdate – May 6th, 2002

Collina is a 15’3hh, 9 year old bay standardbred mare looking for a caring, loving home where she will receive lots of TLC. Her current owner had rescued her from a situation this past December, but her circumstances have changed and is looking for a new home for this mare to continue her progress.

When Collina was first adopted, she was under weight, and covered in mud. Her current owner has been working with her to help her gain her confidence, and to recover her health to where it should be. She is gaining weight well, and her coat is clean and shiny. She has been recently dewormed, gets regular trims from her farrier, and is up to date on spring vaccinations. She also had her teeth floated which has been helping with her digestion. She has her own box stall in the evenings, and is turned out during the day in a spacious paddock.

Collina trailers well, is calm on the cross ties, and is great with the farrier. She is working on her manners, but her current owner says that she would be great under saddle for pleasure and trails. She has not yet started her saddle training, but with the warmer weather and longer days, this would be a great opportunity to continue her progress!
This horse is located in Sackville, N.S. If you are interested in giving Collina a chance, please fill out our easy-to-use application and apply today! http://www.mspha.ca/application

Handsome 3 year old black gelding looking to start a new life! “S.F. Kane” aka “Scotty” was trained for the track, but never raced. His current owner has bred and raised him and has been spoiled ever since. He is sound, and mostly clean legged, as he did have laser on a small tear in the outer sheath on his left front tendon which can barley be noticed. Scotty is well socialized, trailers well, loves attention, and treats! His current owner really thinks a lot of him, and would love to see him go to a good, loving home. Scotty would make a great prospect as a saddle horse!

If you are interested in Scotty, please fill out an application http://www.mspha.ca/application

Small in size, big in heart! This compact, 3 year old filly is approx. 14.1hh, and just is not fast enough to qualify to race. Once you see her size, you will realize that she is not meant to be a racehorse, but has lots of potential as a saddle prospect, although she has not been started yet. Her owner needs to have a home for her by THIS THURSDAY so it is important that the word is spread fast! She is SOUND, does not appear to have a mean bone in her body, and has a face that will melt your heart.

Please e-mail Sarah at s-bruce@live.ca for more information!

Beautiful 6 year old bay mare looking for a new loving home. As you may remember, Velvet was available through the MSPHA in the summer of 2010. She was adopted to a great family, who also adopted 2 other standardbreds in the same year. After giving Velvet time to settle in with her owners and her new herd, it has been decided that she may be better suited with another family. Velvet can be ridden both bareback or under saddle. She can also be used in a traditional bridle, or bitless. This mare has lots of potential!

Yes….she IS a standardbred!
