June’s life has been one of hardship and resilience. Rescued from extreme neglect during a law enforcement seizure, she carries the quiet strength of a horse who has endured much and still offers her gentle spirit to those willing to earn her trust.
In her mid-teens, June is a calm and introspective mare. She has a special way of bonding deeply with one or two horses, forming close friendships, but she’s equally capable of settling into any paddock and finding her place within a herd. While she can be a bit elusive when it’s time to be caught, she’s making progress every day—and once haltered, she has good ground manners.
Physically, June shows signs of ringbone and chronic lameness, conditions that improve significantly with regular trims. While she doesn’t currently require any additional maintenance, her arthritis may progress with time, eventually necessitating daily pain management. Riding training hasn’t been a focus for her, but with patience and care, June could be trained for light riding—provided her adopter is attentive to her lameness and lets her decide what she’s comfortable handling.
June is seeking a home where her gentle demeanor will be appreciated and her needs respected. She doesn’t ask for much—just a safe place, kind care, and the patience of someone who understands her journey.
June is proof that even the quietest horses can leave the biggest impressions. If you’re looking for a mare who will bring a steady, calming presence to your life and herd, June may be the one you’ve been waiting for.***
