About Queenie
Transferred from another rescue, Queenie arrived in early June 2023 with her weeks-old foal, Major, by her side. Upon arrival, this pretty mare had a poor topline with prominent ribs. Queenie quickly gained weight and is in great shape now.
Evaluation and Training
Initially, Queenie was very skittish and afraid of humans. After her arrival, it took three days to halter her, and she had a tendency to bolt instead of leading correctly. With time, Queenie calmed down and became more willing. She is approachable in the field and can be haltered/led easily. She has loaded in a trailer and has been tied for short periods of time. Queenie is leery of having her legs handled, so lifting her feet to trim her hooves is a challenge.
True to her name, Queenie ranks rather high in the hierarchy of the herd, which consists of geldings, other mares, and weanlings. She also shares a pasture with cattle, deer, dogs, emus, ducks, and geese. With additional training, this mare has the potential to be a good riding partner.
