Lexi is a 5-6 year old pony mare who was rescued from a feedlot by SAFE two years ago. She is a beautiful, big-bodied Quarter pony. Lexi came to us with terrible front feet, with some deformation of the pastern/coffin bone area and around the tips of the coffin bone. This deformation placed all her weight on the inside of her feet, putting a lot of strain on her tendons and fetlock joints. After 2 years of corrective trimming, her feet are vastly improved, and while they will never be completely normal, our vets and farriers have determined that, as long as she stays sound, she can be used as a light riding horse. Since Lexi has remained sound, as of September 2007, SAFE is proceeding with getting her started under saddle. She is a very active and playful young girl. She is about 13.3-14h, and very well-built, if not for her feet.

Lexi is currently in groundwork training, and her trainer is already quite pleased with her progress. Click here for more photos of Lexi in training.
