About Speakeasy
Speakeasy is an awesome Paint mare with a bright future ahead of her. She originally served as a broodmare before being donated to Bluebonnet when her owner could no longer care for her. Since then, she has shown great growth under consistent training and exposure, showing herself to be curious, willing, and brave in a wide variety of settings.
Speakeasy is competing in the Non-Pro Under Saddle Division of the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge with Millie McCann. Speakeasy will be available for adoption at the Training Challenge competition on October 4, 2025, during the Bluebonnet Horse Expo at the Williamson County Expo Center.
