Located on a farm five minutes from the Finger Lakes Race Track
This is a beautiful and very sweet mare who was seized by the county sheriff out of a horrific neglect situation, and she has been lovingly, responsibly and fully rehabbed and is ready to find the wonderful loving forever home that she so richly deserves. She is sound and clean legged, unraced, a beautiful mover, very mooth and willing to ride, and by the much-coveted sport horse sire Frost Giant. She has unlimited potential for a successful sport horse career. When she was rescued, Frosted Feather was pathetically thin, no food or water in sight, standing in a stall with over 2 feet of feces, with her dead foal lying nearby covered with a tarp, and she had a badly infected torn vulva. Her feet were in deplorable condition; her front toes were so long and curled that she could barely walk. In the three months she has been with her current owner (who knew the elderly and infirm men who neglected her back when they used to train at the track and persuaded them to sign them over to her so she could rehabilitate and rehome them) her infection has been treated and is gone, her feet have been tended to and are now in very good condition, she has blossomed, gained weight, has a shiny coat, bright attitude and sparkle in her eye once again, and her inherent sweet loving attitude has come to the fore. Her current person says that she is incredibly sweet and kind – remarkable for all she has been through, and easy to handle. She thinks that because of her sweet and easy going attitude she could be a kid’s horse – with appropriate training help and supervision of course. But given her pedigree, build, and movement, we also think she could be a successful sport horse – and keep in mind that there is no racing wear and tear on her legs and body, so she has many years to give to a new athletic discipline. Her current person has started riding her to enhance her rehoming prospects, and she reports that Feather is easy to ride, very responsive to aids, soft, and has beautifully smooth gaits. Based on how she responded from the first ride on, it is apparent that she was once started well and ridden in the past. We were impressed with Frosted Feather’s strong shoulder, and her excellent movement. For her jog video, she displayed a swinging walk with overstep, and a beautiful ground covering trot with excellent hind end engagement and reach from the shoulders. Frosted Feather is UTD on coggins and vaccinations. She never raced, but she is registered with the Jockey Club, although she has no lip tattoo and no microchip. She is by Frost Giant, a son of Giant’s Causeway. Her dam, Feather Nestin’, is by Saint Liam, who is from Halo and Quiet American lines – great sport horse sire lines for sure! Frosted Feather is a half sister to Here Comes Mia, who was listed by FLF five years ago, and is now much loved in her post-track home with her own instagram and tik-tok pages. If you want to be part of Frosted Feather’s journey and help complete a successful rescue story, then please step up to make sure that Frosted Feather has the same soft landing as her sister Mia!
