Cricket the paint horse mare here at Catskill Animal Sanctuary.

Cricket

Paint Mare (Horse)
Birthdate: est. 1/1/1998

Cricket is a very confident horse. She’s most known for bravely approaching groups of people by positioning herself right in the middle of the crowd! Underneath her boldness, she is gentle and affectionate and loves connecting with humans and trusted friends alike. Whether she’s demanding attention or (im)patiently waiting for her next snack, Cricket has a way of filling the pasture with her energy and charm. Everyone who meets her can’t help but fall in love! Cricket is looking for sponsors who love her fiery personality… and if you brought some snacks along, too, that’d be a big plus.

Cricket was rescued in 2012 from a large-scale hoarding and neglect case. When she was found, she was chained by her ankle to a tree, with no access to indoor shelter. A scar remains on her ankle to this day from where she was chained. Understandably, she was terrified upon arriving at CAS, but over time, she completely transformed in personality. Thankfully, she now understands that at Sanctuary, she’s safe for life and free to be herself.
