Aurora is a thoroughbred ex-racehorse who was rescued by ECPR in June of 2022. While she is a very healthy horse overall, she is unfortunately dealing with residual hip problems from her career as a racehorse. Aurora was deeply unhappy living in a stall, so the decision was made to let her live outside full time with our senior mares - Loni Poni, and Sweetness. Aurora was quite young when she came to the sancturary, and still had much to learn about being a horse. Loni and Sweetness were the perfect mentors for her during this formative time. After they both passed, Aurora was moved to Karmello's pasture, where Gwen joins the pair every day. Since her move outside, Aurora has flourished - becoming a very affectionate and loving horse. She enjoys spending time with her handlers - mutually grooming them and being very appreciative of a good belly rub. She is a very curious horse, and always wants to be in people's space. Her goofy side has been nurtured by her pasture mates, and you’ll often find her playing in their water trough!
