My name is Hop and I am a 27-year-old Thoroughbred mare. A tornado destroyed my home and barn in Ocala a couple of years ago and Horse Protection came to my aid. I am the alpha mare of the herd. But I am a fair leader. I like people and I like being groomed too. I especially like people who groom me😊 I would make a great companion horse. Thank you for caring about me. Love, Hop.

Companion Horses

Equines that are not rideable, but are suitable to live happily with other horses are offered as companions. Horse Protection evaluates its horses extensively and provides them with natural horsemanship training to give them any basic groundwork skills that may be lacking so they are suitable companions. Each equine is an individual. We encourage you to learn more about our adoption process.
