DakoDa

Dakoda came from a feedlot in Fallon, Nevada where we outbid the kill buyers were trying to purchase her for horse meat.  She was a two year old appendix (quarter horse x thoroughbred) mare who was wild and feral and extremely shy. She had been hobbled and branded by barbed wire and now has horrific scars. She was untouchable and afraid of halters and ropes. Today, Dakoda is now 6 years old and a fantastic program horse for veterans. We have trained her from the ground up to be completely safe around kids and adults.

The smaller kids ride her in lessons and for birthday parties.
