Adoption
Availability: Picassa is available as a companion
horse to an approved home. She has a heaves condition
which needs to be managed. She does well on green pasture
and a complete horse feed such as TC Senior. A hot humid
climate would not be best for her. All veterinary records
are available.
Both her parents have been winning show horses in the
Performance and Classic Fino divisions. Her sire Picasso
de Don Francisco was the 1996 3rd National Champion Performance
Stallions, 1992 National High Point Classic Fino 4 Year
Schooling Colt, and a PFHA Top Ten Sire.
