 MIdnight Sun is our resident mystery horse.  Her previous owner gave many contradictory stories about this pretty brown mare.  She said that she rode Midnight all the time but the horse was too mean to get near enough to feed.  According to her previous owner, Midnight would kick and bite anyone that tried to feed her. 
 
Midnight Sun has proven to be one of the friendliest horses at the sanctuary.  She has never tried to kick or bite a human being and is a favorite with many of the volunteers that help clean the stable.

When Midnight Sun arrived at the sanctuary, she was very thin and frightened.  She would not leave the safety of the barn.  After months of working patiently with her, she learned that it was safe to venture out into the pasture and graze with the other horses.  These days her sponsor can call her name and Midnight Sun will come trotting around the lake to meet her.
 
Midnight Sun is under saddle and doing very well.  She is english trained and is also gaited.  We are still working with her to overcome her fears about riding along a roadside or off property and she is exhibiting progress.

Midnight Sun is in excellent health.  She has good ground manners and is one of the farrier's favorite horses to trim.  She is a loner and doesn't really have any horse friends at the sanctuary but loves all the volunteers.
 
We believe she is a Saddlebred and Thoroughbred cross.  She knows how to do both a slow and fast pace so she is very comfortable to ride.  She is a very dainty girl  (14.3 hands and 950 lbs) and needs a small rider.
