Hold the Presses
2009 16.2HH Bay Thoroughbred Mare
Hold the Presses, affectionately known as "Hippo", is a big-bodied, off-the-track Thoroughbred (OTTB) with a charming personality. Due to coffin bone degeneration, Hippo is not sound for riding and is seeking a loving, companion-only home.
Hippo thrives in the company of others and gets along beautifully with her pasture mates. She adores spending time with her equine friends and would make a wonderful addition to any herd. Her calm, affectionate nature also makes her a delightful presence for humans—offering quiet companionship and a soothing spirit.
If you're looking for a loyal pasture buddy for another horse, or simply a sweet soul to share your space, Hippo is ready to bring warmth and tranquility to her forever home. She deserves a peaceful, pasture-filled life surrounded by love—equine and human alike.
