This beautiful bay mare was originally owned by an Eden Farm boarder whose family suffered a tragedy that made it impossible to keep Portia. In February of 2007, she was adopted by Sarah Marshall and moved to the Portland area. In July of 2011 Sarah returned Portia to the Sanctuary to retire her with a lifetime sponsorship as Portia had an undiagnosed chronic lameness. Shortly after her arrival, she became sound again and was put back into dressage training and has shown no signs of lameness since. On July 15, 2012 Portia was transported to a boarding stable in the Portland area to be with Sarah once again.
Portia moved with Sarah to Boise, Idaho for a few months until a third baby left little time for riding and now Portia is back and being boarded by Sarah’s mother here at the Sanctuary.
Portia is the perfect example of what it means when we say, “once an Equamore horse, always an Equamore horse.”
