Meet Prissie

Retired 28 year old Thoroughbred mare

Prissie is an off track thoroughbred who raced at the Sam Houston.  She is a beautiful and spirited mare.  My daughter found her living on property in Bellaire, TX all alone.  Her owner had failing health, her pasture mate had died and she was for sale.  We were just about to close on our property and move Chief and Seattle here.  Meg, then just 14 years old, contacted the owner and negotiated a plan to get her to our new home.  He agreed and it all worked out.  He came to visit her from time to time and was pleased that she was happy in her new home.  She took to jumping instantly and was a great competitor in local shows and in cross country.  A lot of kids learned to ride on this lovely mare.  She has a home here forever and we still use her for learning events in grooming and tacking for Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops.  We also use her as a welcoming mare for new horses as she gets along with everyone.
