Sioux

Administrative and Wellness Fee:$1500.00

Sioux initially came to Rainbow Meadows as one of "9 Lives."

Seized in a rural Kansas cruelty case in March of 2009, 8 horses (one pregnant) were found neglected and at great risk. Severely emaciated, heavily parasitized, lice infested, and virtually untouched, the "9 Lives" were found in a 5-acre lot that resembled a public landfill. There were carcasses of dead animals littering the property. There was no food to eat and the only water available was from a contaminated pond. However, their futures were bright as they were rescued by Rainbow Meadows where they were rehabilitated and taught to trust the humans in their life.

Sioux served in a children's camp from 2014-2024, until the camp riding program closed.

She is a Bashkir Curly*, and is friendly around humans, making her a wonderful match for her new adopters.
