NAME: NAVADA AKA “Gallop” (Newly named by her new 5 yr old owner Charlotte)
AGE: 24 years old BREED: BLACK BLM MUSTANG - MARE HANDS: 14.2 hands INJURIES/RESTRICTIONS: Navada has a lot less teeth to work with than she used to so she is on a special mash diet. This allows her to eat all the normal foods she loves but doesn’t require her to chew a lot or have to break down the food herself. The mash diet consists of mixed grains and soaked alfalfa. Her new mash diet has not seemed to slow her down as she continues to maintain her ‘motherly’ figure and is helping her to live her best life! HISTORY: Navada has an interesting story that comes full circle. Her original owner who adopted her from a BLM roundup at 6 months old, learned she was not tall enough for her rescuer to ride so she was then rehomed again. That owner quickly learned Navada and her daughter Baby (check out her profile as well!) was an escape artist and wasn’t able to safely live there. Navada was then surrendered to MJM Horse Rescue. SKILL SET LEVEL: Navada has a new 5 year old owner and she is extremely patient and gentle with her rider. Every once in a while the Mustang in her sneaks out and she can be ornery (ornery as in she may take you back to the rescue during your ride whether you wanted to go back or not!) It was not uncommon to see one of JJ’s sons hop onto her bareback and roam the property. CURRENT DIET: Mash diet. Mixed grains, supplements and soaked alfalfa along with hay 24/7 MORE ABOUT Navada: She is a steady and sweet girl who due to her allergies, LOVES a good, long scratch session. You better be ready to stand for a while because she will allow you to scratch her until she feels the nearby tree can do a better job. If you see the trees bending in the pasture you can bet you’ll see Navada full body scratching on it!
