Reata is a gorgeous mare with the potential to go anywhere with the proper training. She has been saddled once so far and she did excellent! Reata is a hair shorter than most thoroughbreds we see, and is much stockier. She looks more like a bigger Quarter horse! Reata was never raced and has been out in pasture most of her life. She is very friendly and a perfect clean slate for you to train or send to your favorite trainer! She is full of energy and very willing to work.... (read more)

Reata could do very well in the show ring, as everyone who has seen her move in the round pen notes how smoothly she carries herself at every gait. She also maintains a naturally low headset that is very nice to see. She is also very soft on the halter and easy to guide. We love getting prospects like her in because we know somebody could shape her into a very fine riding horse!

She does need some extra time spent on picking up her feet. She is very cautious about her hind feet and we are working to get her past this before anything else. Reata could use some work desensitizing as well as standing tied patiently. She loads easily into the trailer and is good to brush, just not quite ready for fly spray yet!

She is sound, healthy and sweet! She is a truly great prospect that we could see going anywhere. Don't hesitate to reach out and ask questions about this lovely mare! Reata is up to date on dental, vaccines and she is microchipped.

Nexus Equine

We believe there are times when horses find themselves in at-risk situations and need outside support and resources. Quite often, these are younger healthier horses who have a great potential for a second career or new chapter in their lives. Nexus provides assessment and training to every horse in our adoption program. As a result, all horses have a specific individually designed program that promotes the highest potential of each horse.... (read more) The final step in our adoption process is matching the right person with the right horse, creating positive outcomes for the equine community. Horses need resources and support when they are no longer appropriate for current discipline or environment. Nexus provides those option either by putting horses in our adoption and transport programs OR by providing assistance to horse owners with veterinary and farrier care so that horses can remain at home. Nexus collaborates and partners with other equine organizations, horse and breed associations, national animal welfare organizations and horse enthusiasts on a local and national level to help horses more efficiently and effectively. Our team works hard to help Oklahoma horses—check out recent news coverage, press releases, and social media posts about our efforts in the News Center.
