Skadi

Skadi came to Abiding Sunday in April of 2023 from a kill pen situation. All we were told is that she is between 14 & 15 years-old, stands at 17.2 hands high, was ridden in the past but has sat out in pasture as a broodmare for the past several years. 

She was aptly named after a giantess of Norse Mythology who bow hunts in the mountains on skis and was later accepted by the gods after marrying one of them. 

Skadi’s story is the same as so many others' - when she could no longer produce, she wasn't of use. 

Welcome to your own space and rest, Mother.
