About Dove

As of 2025, Dove is an 18-year-old Palomino Saddlebred mare and turns heads with her stunning movement and golden good looks. She’s a social butterfly—always eager to greet volunteers, guests, and tour groups at the fence with a friendly nicker.

Dove is currently working on her groundwork with staff and volunteers and is proving to be a quick study. Under saddle, she’s ridable and responsive. She tends to start out with a bit of extra energy before settling into her job. She would do best with an advanced intermediate rider who’s willing to take the time to help her return to her full riding potential.

Whether she’s being groomed or soaking up attention, Dove is a kind, intelligent mare who thrives with human connection. If you're looking for a partner with a little sparkle and a lot of heart, Dove might just be your girl.
