Hali, a young, affectionate mare arrived at Longmeadow alongside a large group of horses from a neglect situation. Although she was in the best condition in her group, it still took time to earn her trust. Hali's kind eyes and beautiful appaloosa markings have melted several staff members' hearts. Her sweet disposition and curious mindset have made her easy to handle on the ground. However, prior to arriving at the Ranch, Hali was put into training and had severely injured the trainer while under saddle. Due to her previous history, we took our time establishing a trust on the ground before attempting to evaluate her. While we gauged her level of knowledge under saddle, we found she was quite nervous and tense. We believe she still carries bad memories of her previous training, and thus she needs to be completely started over by a professional trainer. Hali gets along well with mares and geldings, and is easy to catch!
**Training Update** Hali started in Longmeadow's training program in June 2023. She has had time to settle and reset and it seems to have helped her overall demeanor. She now has a fresh start and we are taking her through the training basics again. She is being ridden at the walk and trot in the indoor arena. We are taking it slow to make sure to set her up for success. We can't wait to see what she becomes as she excels under saddle!
