About Queenie
Queenie does her best to live up to her royal name: preferring to live at the top of the herd hierarchy. Fortunately, she’s kind with people and seems to enjoy time spent together working.
She came to Bluebonnet in June 2023 after being transferred from another rescue with her newborn colt, Major, at her side. Looking at her today, it is hard to believe she was underweight then, she’s really blossomed into a gorgeous horse.
Queenie competed in the 2024 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge in the Non-Pro Under Saddle Division with a youth handler. She was adopted at the Challenge but later returned because she wasn’t the right fit for her adopter.
Queenie is competing in the Non-Pro Under Saddle Division of the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge with Katina Jimenez. Queenie will be available for adoption on October 4, 2025, during the Bluebonnet Training Challenge and Expo at the Williamson County Expo Center in Taylor, TX.
