Background & Care:
When Andoria came to Bluebonnet, she had severe tick infestations in her ears. The ticks are long gone but she may always have some scarring in her ears. That doesn’t affect her ability to hear or cause any problems.

Why She’s Amazing:
Andoria is amazing because she has the perfect blend of heart, resilience, and versatility. She has blossomed into a kind, willing partner who genuinely enjoys people (especially if they come with a bribe in hand!). She’s steady and confident whether you’re riding alone, in a group, through water, or down a parade route, and she takes new experiences in stride. Andoria is the kind of horse who makes every ride a joy.
