Nirvana

With a name like Nirvana, you know this mare makes an impression.  This stunning 28-year-old Holsteiner mare enjoyed a distinguished career as a show jumper before neck and hoof injuries brought her competitive days to a close.

Retirement hasn’t dimmed her spirit one bit. As HorseLink’s beloved matriarch, Nirvana has blossomed into a total sweetheart, though she needed time to get there. Change doesn’t come easily to this mare, and she appreciates a gentle, gradual approach to new experiences. When introduced to things at her own pace, her trust emerges, revealing the warm heart beneath her regal exterior.

Don’t mistake her sweetness for meekness, though. Nirvana has opinions and isn’t shy about sharing them. She adores attention and affection, but she’ll also make it crystal clear when something doesn’t meet her standards. And if you really want to win her over? Bring treats. This mare has a love affair with food that never fails to bring out her most charming side.

If you love Nirvana and want to contribute to her health and well-being, please consider a sponsorship. Every bit helps to keep our horses fed, healthy, and feeling good to do their important work.
