Evaluation and Training

Tina is a very cute, sweet mare with a laid-back personality. She will come when called and is amenable to being haltered, led, and loaded in a trailer. Although she lifted her feet for her foster mom, she was reactive during her first encounter with a farrier.

Now that Tina is with her new challenge partner here's what she's been up too...Tina is very friendly. She is easy to catch in a small area but had some trouble out in the field, but we’ve worked with her, and she is doing better. She’s learning ground manners and has walked over a bridge and is going over jumps. Tina been tied and learning how to sit still for grooming and bathing.
