About Cruising Down Daisy

Cruising Down Daisy is an absolute sweetheart who thrives on attention from both human and horse friends. She was transferred to us from another rescue organization so that we could continue her training and prepare her for her forever home.

- Social with other horses, prefers to follow rather than challenge herd leaders

Why She’s Amazing:
Cruising Down Daisy is the kind of horse that captures hearts instantly. She’s a tall rider’s dream, but her gentle and affectionate nature makes her just as suitable for smaller riders. She is broke, and she handles busy environments with ease — from trucks and fireworks to dogs and other animals. With her versatility, she could continue developing as a dressage prospect, become a hunter, enjoy relaxed trail rides, or simply thrive as a cherished companion. Cruising Down Daisy is ready to share her gentle spirit and endless affection with the forever family she’s been waiting for.
