If you’re a fan of the Arabian breed, you will love our two gray girls – Shania and Sky! Shania is a very affectionate and easy going mare. She loves to be groomed and doted on!

Shania has lived with her sister Sky for her whole life, so the two of them are quite bonded. They are able to stall separately as long as they are close to one another, and over time we think they would benefit from some periods of separation just for their own well-being. We are open to placing these two mares together or separately depending on the situation and the progress we are able to make in creating some distance between them while they are at Nevins.

So far Shania has been the boss of every herd she’s joined. Integrating her into an existing/established herd would require some careful management and introductions, but she could just be the leader your herd has been searching for!

Shania has been out of ridden work for about 10 years now, but we have not discovered any physical limitations that would prevent her from coming back into work. Shania walks, trots, and canters beautifully on the lunge line and offers some nice lateral movement and hind/fore quarter yields from the ground. At her age, her days of serious riding and work are likely behind her but she may be up for the occasional mosey or even some pony rides potentially.

She is a very easy keeper and maintains her weight nicely with a minimal amount of balancer grain and first-cut hay. She is patient for vet and farrier care, and has done well living out 24/7 as well as stalling overnight since she has been with us. Shania would make a really fun project for an experienced adopter or would be just as happy to retire early and be a beloved pet.
