Nadia is a sweet, pretty mare that was originally rescued from a hoarding situation in Eatonville by Pierce County Animal Control in June of 2010.  She was in their foster care systems for several months, and while the other 16 horses and minis that were seized had found homes, Nadia and one other horse did not and eventually Pierce County Animal Control ran them through the Enumclaw auction, where Nadia ended up being bought by the auctionhouse owner who frequently sells horses to slaughter.  PCAC ended up buying the horse back from the auction owner and surrendering her to SAFE’s care.  When she originally arrived at SAFE, she was still quite thin so we spent several months just getting her healthy.  We had heard she was broke to ride, but she was quite flighty and nervous about being handled, so we sent her to our trainer.  She’s been with our trainer for a month now and doing well.  Our best guess is she has formerly been used as a gaming/barrel horse.  She would make a really cute little 4H western horse!  She’s still a little nervous and sensitive but she’s quite sensible as well.
