Thank you Linda Lyons East for taking this beautiful photo!

Katrina is a sweet mare and very well behaved under halter.  She is an insecure lady and gets upset if her neighbor Zeke (front right) is separated from her.  She is a bit high strung, but is a very pretty mover.  We were told by her previous owner that she "dances". She can get a bit anxious when she feels that she is being pushed. 

Katrina's teeth were in awful shape.  Phillip Rue spent some time talking to her and then proceeded to file down all those hooks on her back teeth.  She had sores on the inside of her mouth where the hooks were cutting the inside of her cheeks.

Once he was done filing down all the sharp edges, Phillip rinsed her mouth out. 

There was quite a bit of tooth matter left on the tool after floating the upper left hand side of her teeth.  The right hand side had almost the same amount of filings left on the dental tool. 

Katrina will now be able to chew her food comfortably and process her food better.

A very nice mover!  She is out of condition and needs her feet done. 

Katrina is a lovely mare and seems to be settling in nicely.  She is getting along well with Dixie who is available for adoption.

Katrina's owners could no longer afford to care for her.  Although it was very difficult for them to give her up, they wanted to insure that she did not go to a home that was unsuitable.  We were informed that she has been trained to "Dance".

Her owners were not in a position to keep Katrina any longer, but they put forth the effort to find her a safe haven BEFORE she was in dire straits.  Katrina is in need of farrier care and dental care.  This will be done as soon as possible.

Kristy & Bonnie will be giving her a few days to settle in and will then start working with her.  Right now she is a bit nervous in her new surroundings.  Thank you ladies for helping TIER to help Katrina!
