Date of Birth:    1979

Breed:  Chestnut Argentinean bred Polo pony 

How horse came to Ranger:  In Fall of 2001, Nina came from Valley Forge Military Academy.  She came in a big rig and had her own stall area because they said she absolutely could not be tied.

Interesting characteristics or anecdotes:  Nina spent years playing polo for Valley Forge Military Academy. Originally she was valued at $27,000 when she was donated to the school. She reportedly just one day quit playing polo, she told all involved she was done. Sometimes temperamental and definitely hard to catch she has been the favorite horse of one of our young teenage girl volunteers. Once caught she seems to adore the grooming attention lavished on her by Amanda.

Nina has a perfectly round indentation in her face bone beneath an eye that looks like she was once hit square in the face with a polo ball.  We do have her vet records noting a swollen place under an eye one year and she had many many leg injuries over the years. 

Special care needs:  

Favorite Ranger Buddies:  Nina's buddies are Patti and Princess.

Sponsorship:  Nina needs a sponsor.
