About Reina

Reina came from a neglect case and was pregnant when she arrived. She had a healthy foal, Nacho, in 2020.

Reina is a big, beautiful mare who is a flashy and graceful mover! She was thin upon arrival, despite being eight months pregnant. An easy keeper, Reina quickly gained weight before foaling.

Reina has been in a mixed herd of mares and geldings, plus she has shared a pasture with cattle, emus, and deer. She seems to get along fine with everyone.

Reina was enrolled in the Spring 2021 non-pro under saddle division of the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge, but her Challenge trainer withdrew and she was quickly adopted!

Reina was returned in March 2023

Evaluation and Training

Reina was reported to have been used as a roping horse. She is respectful and has good ground manners. She can be caught and haltered, preferably with a treat when in a large field. Reina leads, loads in trailers, and ties easily. Her only fault to date is trimming her hooves. In the past, she has kicked when her hind hooves have been trimmed.

Reina's former owner claimed she had been used for roping, but we cannot verify that. Reina's currently being ridden by on trails by her Training Challenge trainer. She would be a great horse for an intermediate rider.
