"Waiting for you is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But, you're worth it." Madeline has been waiting since August 11, 2021 to find a home

…1,108 days

…over 3 years of waiting.

With a heart as sweet as her demeanor, Madeline is the epitome of a perfect equine companion to share peaceful moments and build a lasting friendship.

Madeline is a 18-year-old Hanoverian mare who loves grooming time and is always down for a good ear scratch. She leans in affectionately and shows you exactly where she would like to receive love. This sweet girl is eager to have a quiet home to retire where she will bring joy and cherished memories to someone who loves her.

Could you be the person she's been longing for?

She was many things the stereotypes say to avoid.

She was small.
She was "hot'.

She was a thoroughbred.

She was a mare that some of the sharpest horse people I know passed up.

She was Touch Of Class.
She won an individual Olympic gold medal.

Philomina, "Mina"
Elegantly Built 16.1 Thoroughbred- Trakehner Mare

Stunning mover with unlimited potential to take in any direction. Starting her career a little later than most, Mina, has continued to astound us with her train-ability. She is brave, bold and kind and most of all, willing. Mina has been to local hunter shows, schooled cross-country, out fox-hunting and hacks alone or in a group. She has a large, adjustable stride, with exceptional quality to her gaits.

Mina's movement and desire can translate from the upper-levels of dressage to the ranks of the hunter-jumper world without pause.
