About Marty McFly

Marty was transferred to us from another rescue for training and rehoming.

Marty McFly was supposed to compete in the 2023 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge with a Professional rider, but her rider had to withdraw (no fault of Marty McFly).

Marty McFly competed in the Professional Division of the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge with Emily Hren. You can follow his progress on his Facebook page CLICK HERE

Evaluation and Training

Marty leads, lunges, ties, grooms and loads in a trailer without much hesitation or issue. He gets a little wiggly and paws a bit when tied. He gets along with other horses and dogs. His trainer has introduced him to some obstacles, and he is not scared of them. He is very connected and doing amazing learning some Liberty/bonding skills and nickers at his foster every morning.

Marty McFly can walk, trot, and canter in the round pen and on a lunge line. He has been ridden in a round pen, arena, and Open field. He has been introduced to pulling a cart, obstacles, trails, shows, and other arenas. Marty McFly would be good for an Intermediate rider.

Marty McFly is learning to work obstacles such as closing and opening gates. She's also hauled him to a schooling show and showed him in an in-hand obstacle course. Marty McFly definitely does better with at least three days a week of mounted work and one or two days of groundwork or light “fun” or non-intense riding. He has a beautiful floaty trot that is easy to sit or post to. And his trainer is working on gaining his confidence at a canter. His trainer has recently introduced mounted jumping to him. And he has done well so far. They have done cross rails to 2’ verticals.
