"Freckees"
Hi! My name is Freckles, but sometimes people call me “Freckees”. I was born in 1993. I am an Appaloosa mare (female). I stand 15.2 hands (or 5’ ft 2”) tall. I have a few spots on my back, maybe that’s where I got my name from. Do you know why I have a short mane and tail? Well it’s a characteristic trait of appaloosa’s.
The kids in the mounted riding program love me. My calmness and sweet temper are my greatest attributes. They do say, however, that I’m a bouncy, bubbly kind of girl to ride, which gives my volunteers a good workout during our lessons, and helps them rack up their 10,000 steps for the day!
When you meet me for the first time, don’t be afraid or feel bad for me. When I was 22, the vet had to remove my right eye due to moon blindness (an acute eye inflammation that was really painful for me). I’ve since learned to overcome my disability and have no problems being lots of fun to ride during classes (I haven’t lost my spunk, just an eye).
One thing I love to do is get a nice afternoon nap on a sunny day - nothing better than lying down and soaking up the sun, resting up for my next adventure.
