MESA is the last career for most of our horses. Our lesson horses are typically donated or loaned to us. THey are no longer able to perform their duties in their previous career at the capacity that is necessary, so they are either forgotten in the pastures, sent to market, or MESA can give the a new sense of worth. MESA horses get enough exercise that is healthy with plenty of pats, hugs, smiles, carrots and apples to keep them happy through thier sunset years.
