Reba is an energetic sorrel mare that came to VEWS as an owner surrender in April 2022. She is
healthy and spunky and does best with a companion nearby. She is green under saddle but willing to
learn. She needs an experienced rider interested in
teaching her or an intermediate rider with a trainer.
We are now accepting applications for and scheduling visits with Reba.
