Little Rox is the daughter of Whiskey, a large buckskin Quarter Horse mare rescued from a feedlot. Whiskey's
former owner believes that her sire is a Thoroughbred/Percheron cross. Thanks to the determination and
generosity of Tasha G., Rox was purchased last March and moved from Ephrata to our farm. Rox was six months
old at the time and not halter broke, never had her feet trimmed or apparently any health care. She was extremely
thin, sick with a respiratory infection and a belly full of worms. She was so weak at the time that her hocks
knocked together when she walked.
She has blossomed into a wonderful girl! I cannot tell you how much I have
enjoyed having a baby around the place! She is halter trained, her feet handle quietly and she loves to be groomed.
She picked the kindest gelding on the place as her new papa and he has instilled his good nature in her. She runs
like a nut and is robustly healthy. For those of you who were puzzled about her color (like me) she seems to be a
liver chestnut with brindling on her legs. And she is growing a fabulous tail! She does have a small umbilical
hernia which our vet is watching.
Her adoption fee is $250, contract required.
