Quizzical Quartz is a 20-year-old OTTB mare... but don't tell her she just turned 20! You would never know otherwise! Quartz originally came to DEFHR in 2019 as a neglect case. She was a body condition score of a 1.5, went through DEFHR's rehabilitation and training programs, and was later adopted by a college student as an eventing mount. She evented through beginner novice successfully and was dearly loved by her adopter. Unfortunately, life changes required her return to DEFHR and now Quartz is looking to make another family happy. Quartz has three comfortable gaits and is a nice, forward ride. Quartz can be a little herd-bound, but is improving greatly with each session. She just needs time to adjust to her new environment! At this point in her career, Quartz will be looking for a pleasure home where she can enjoy flat work and the occasional small fence. Quartz does have mild hock arthritis (radiographs will be shared with adopter) and has received hock injections in the past. Depending on work load, Quartz may benefit from some maintenance in the future, but right now, she is sound with basic front shoes and living out 24/7. If you are a thoroughbred lover looking for a keen, sharp mount to enjoy some pleasure riding with, Quartz would love to meet you!
