Bio: Vanya is calm, gentle, and thoughtful, with a sweet and patient nature. She was born with a spinal defect, which means she **cannot be ridden**, but she has a great quality of life as a non-riding horse and would make an **amazing companion to both horses and people**. On the ground, Vanya is an absolute dream. She’s easy to catch, polite, and attentive to her handler. She is easy going with other horses, and enjoys kicking up her heels out in her shared pasture. Vanya is ready for a loving home where she can enjoy turnout, grooming, and leisurely walks with her favorite person.
Handler Experience: Companion/Intermediate - Has a working knowledge of horse behavior and herd dynamics, and is able to catch, halter and lead safely.
