About Latifa
The Houston SPCA took in Latifa after a law enforcement seizure in June 2021, and then transferred her to BEHS. Therefore, we have no information about her earlier years, except for photos indicating she suffered from malnutrition prior to her rescue. She is definitely healthy, sound, and energetic now. Latifa appears to get along well in a mixed herd of mares and geldings. Additionally, she is not reactive around various animals – dogs, cats, cattle, emus, poultry and resident deer.
Evaluation and Training
Initially, Latifa was shy and reluctant to be caught. Her initial foster home spent time working with her, and she’s now easy to catch and lead. She spent time with a trainer in the summer of 2022 and they focused on ground work. She’s learned to carry a saddle, stand tied, stand for baths. She’s fine out with other horses or mules.
Latifa needs an adopter who can start her under saddle. She’s a pretty mare and could make a nice open show horse, trail horse, endurance horse, or pleasure horse for the right person. She is a slim mare, so she’ll need a smaller adult or teen rider.
Latifa attended the 2022 Fall Training Challenge Expo and was adopted!
