Shiloh is very sweet, very calm, and just wants to be loved. She is up to date on all her vaccinations, worming, and hoof trim.
Shiloh is not of my breeding, nor from any of my breeding stock. About 3 years ago, I went to look at her for broodmare purposes; but instead bought her just to keep her from possibly going into a bad situation.
Shiloh was born with Achondroplasia Dwarfism, where the cartilage does not solidify into bone as the foal matures. This results in joints maturing twisted and bent. In Shiloh's case, it only affected her knees; her condition is permanent, but she is otherwise completely healthy and an easy keeper.
Dwarfism, with it's many health complications, is hereditary. Shiloh is now physically too old to settle to a stallion, anyway.
If you are looking for a pony for your small, lightweight child, I would recommend no more than 50 pounds of weight on her back, for no more than 10-15 minutes/every other day.
The absolute best home for Shiloh would simply be a calm, loving home for life, with someone who will just enjoy having a beautiful, sweet mare as a pet.
Or, as a companion for a calm, single, older horse.
I thought to be that home for her, but all of my horses are too young and enthusiastic for her.
If you know you can give this sweetheart a good home, please contact me. Thank you!
