QUEENIE
?? years old
14 hand White Appaloosa Mare  

  Queenie is a little Appy pony who was abandoned, either at  Norco feed store, or the Norco Animal Shelter, and left to her fate. The Norco Animal Shelter had her for a year or two, but as she is a senior animal, had trouble placing her.

Queenie seems to think that even the tiniest touch on her nose is a cue to rear.  I don't get a frightened or angry hit off it - I swear I think someone trained her to do it.  I can't get a look at her teeth, and suspect they couldn't at the animal shelter either.  So, the first order of business with Queenie is to get her to accept a touch on her nose; then we'll work

on moving her lips so I can see her teeth.  I'll update this site with a better idea of her age when that happens.  However, she is VERY willing to take a treat off your hand - the touch has to be hers apparently - and eats with a hearty appetite. She appears to be completely sound - what a waste of a good pony!    Right now, although she and Happy are friends having come from the same facility, she is definitely in Ronan's eye - and they DO make a cute couple.
