About this Horse
Miss Mia was on the infamous tractor-trailer that overturned on Highway 44 in October of 2020. She was one of the surviving horses that came to Longmeadow to be treated and rehabilitated. We are unsure of exactly where she came from, but we do know that the trailer carrying Mia was on the way to slaughter. Luckily, Mia survived the wreck with minimal injuries and could begin her rehabilitation right away.After some time settling into Ranch life, Mia was sent to a professional trainer where she was used on a working ranch. Upon evaluation, the trainer found that she bucked under saddle, which he believed was from negative experiences of being started under saddle in the past. After patiently working through it, Mia spent her days working cattle and living with other horses. She seemed to love her job, and we loved how she was progressing in her training. Unfortunately, during her training, Mia suffered an injury while turned out and came back to Longmeadow to be treated. After the injury healed, our trainer began riding her here at the Ranch. Two months in, she began bucking again. Our trainer stopped riding her and began more groundwork training, which Mia is currently working on. She seems to get frustrated quickly when confused or uncomfortable. Because her history and temperament, our trainer is requiring that any adopter who wants Mia for riding have her professionally restarted. If Mia is adopted as a pasture pet only, meaning to a family that will not ride her, she would be appropriate for an intermediate handler. Mia gets long great with other horses. She tends to be middle-ranking and is well behaved for her handler.Height: 14.2HHAdoption Fee: $500Maximum Carrying Weight (includes tack and rider): 200lbs

Adopt MIA and Receive MIA's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, MIA's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is MIA's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the MIA, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming MIA's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and MIA was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, MIA’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the MIA’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, MIA’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
