She is a 7-year-old National Show Horse (Half Arabian, Half Saddlebred) who was rescued by ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ - ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐ after being passed from auction to auction, landing in the hands of an abusive horse trader.

Reya is ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ฌ and wonโt enter the barn yet, but sheโs warming up to the turnout shelter after watching my herd use it. I introduced her to my horses ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐, ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐๐ญ, and theyโve all been incredibly calm and welcoming. Right now, she has her own ๐/๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ where she can approach and interact with the herd on her own terms.
