Athena is approximately 13 years old. She is not registered but is a beautifully colored pinto mare. She is small at around 14 hands, and is healthy and sound. Athena was seized from her owner, along with Coben, due to neglect. We picked the horses up from Walker County Animal Control after their seizure.

She leads nicely, loads well, and stands great for the vet and farrier. However, she does need some work. It doesn't seem as though much has been done with her during her life. When she is handled daily, she does well and still has many useful years ahead of her. With an experienced owner, there is no reason why this mare can't make a nice riding horse for someone.

I don't say this often, but she really does need a female owner. Athena does not like men and does much better with women. If a man approaches her, she pins her ears and her entire demeanor changes. We are working on this, and I'm sure she'll eventually get past it, but it's something to keep in mind for her new home.

Athena does well with other horses and would make a great companion for another horse. Her adoption fee is $200.
