Its called Z Animal Crossing. They have a website. I don’t know if they have any more foals. They did have mares for sale. Another farm is called Spots n Stripes. They are in CA. Check out their website. Lots of good information.

I did get a permit, Maryland didn't require one but I went ahead and obtained one just in case! It took me a year to get it. No, they are not cheap, there is a lady in Va that sells fillies for $6500 and colts for $4500. I didn't pay quite that much for this one, thats why I drove all the way to IN

They females used to be $10,000 a few years back. So they have gone down a little bit. They do have to be dewormed EVERY month. And I do a 3 way rotational. Zebras have no resistance to worms. I was told that more zebras die from this than anything else in the US.

I agree she is very cute, but can I ask why you wanted a zebra?

Besides the additional expense/trouble of monthly worming zebras are not yet truly a domesticated equid.
From what I've read they - & the crossbred zorses - are known for kicking & biting.
With so many lovely horses now in need of homes, why go to an exotic that may not turn out tractable or useful?

From Wikipedia:

Human interactions
Attempts have been made to train zebras for riding, since they have better resistance than horses to African diseases. Most of these attempts failed, though, due to the zebra's more unpredictable nature and tendency to panic under stress. For this reason, zebra-mules or zebroids (crosses between any species of zebra and a horse, pony, donkey or ass) are preferred over purebred zebras.

Yahoo Answers:

Although zebras have not yet been domesticated, they are trainable to a point.
If they are handled frequently from day one it increases their chance of being trainable.
Zebras should always be considered wild and never a pet.
They do not have nasty attitudes but do have wild instincts that have been developing for thousands of years and just a few generations of domestic environment aren't going to change them.
Zebra are closely related to the domesticated horse, sharing a genus (Equus) and a common ancestor. They stand nearly five feet at the shoulder, live in small family groups or herds, are sociable herbivores who breed well in public and live in harmony with their mammalian neighbors, like antelopes and wildebeest. They are even strong enough to carry an adult human on their backs.

And from PBS:

Zebras are notoriously hard to tame
Zebras are also notoriously difficult to catch. They have evolved superb early-warning mechanisms , such as peripheral vision far superior to other horses. Often bad tempered, they grow increasingly antisocial with age and once they bite, they tend not to let go. A kick from a zebra can kill — and these creatures are responsible for more injuries to American zookeepers each year than any other animal.

Hope you are aware & able to handle all of the problems that come with an exotic pet.

When I was a child my neighbors had Zebras and I always said I was going to have one. I can now finally afford to buy one. Its been my lifelong dream come true. I have lots of research on them. I have also been involved in rescuing off track TB's plus I give money out of my paycheck every month to rescues. I have made made a lot of progress with Zahara. She leads, ties, and is getting friendlier. I am starting to work with her legs. It just takes lots of time and patience.

OTTB is a whole different animal...LITERALLY.

My H/J of 20+ years was an OTTB.
They have been bred for over 300 years to be domesticated along with being trained to deal with a lot by the time they are 2yo.
I love the OTTB - a horse with a work ethic and desire to please for the most part.
My guy was 110% Heart & Try - never refused to do anything I asked.
We not only showed H/J, but evented (schooled to Training), did dressage (to 3rd Level) and JFTHOI: ran barrels.
He sure loved that last cloverleaf Run For Home

I hope your dream does not sour on you.
Purchase price - as with any horse - is the tip of the iceberg.
I also hope you have someone nearby with experience handling these exotic equids.

What a cute face!! I didn't know that they had zero resistance to worms---I find that highly interesting. That has to be really tough because I keep hearing how worms are developing resistance to dewomers...

Is she a Chapman's or Graham's (I think that is what they are called, right?

)

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

 

[Streakinstones]

She is a Grants Zebra. I make sure to rotate the wormers and keep a strict schedule on when she is dewormed. I am considering a daily wormer that is a feed thru I just have not been able to find it in all the different kinds yets.
