Update: September, 2024:
Well, Meera is back with the CHANGE program and available for adoption. Her amazing family who adopted her, through no fault of theirs, needed to return her to us, and as for all horses who’ve been in our program, we always make sure that they have a lifetime safety net with us.
Meera is a grade grulla mare, approximately 19 years old and about 14’2 hands. She has some scars that appear to be from being roped and tripped, and while she’s still the sweetest and most trusting girl you’d ever want to meet, she’s not rideable due to these injuries. She’s otherwise healthy and happy and would love to become a new member of a loving family who can provide her with a home for life.
Update: April, 2020: Meera has found her home! Thank you Amanda for making her the newest member of your family.

After her recent veterinary visit, Meera is looking much much better! Here are a few updated photos:
Meera is approximately 14 to 15 years old by examination of her teeth. She is a grulla paint mare who was found abandoned in a horse trailer in the Home Depot parking lot in Windsor, CA in late July 2019 along with another mare. She and her friend waited patiently in the cramped trailer for approximately 18 hours without food and water in 90 degree heat for someone to help them. Thankfully, they were noticed by concerned citizens and taken into custody by local animal authorities. They entered the CHANGE Program shortly thereafter at which time one of our dedicated foster barns has worked tirelessly to rehabilitate them. Meera had skin issues that needed daily attention and also needed some groceries, just like her companion. Meera has received badly needed dental care by a CHANGE Program veterinarian, as well as vaccinations, hoof care, deworming, and medication to make her more comfortable on her hind limb which has a chronic hock joint injury. Here are photos of Meera when she entered the CHANGE Program:
Here is Meera a few weeks later after being in the CHANGE Program rehabilitation program:
