Motion

Motion is a lovely 5-year old, 15.1 hh Thoroughbred mare who joins us from the MSSPA. She was part of a forced surrender case last year, and arrived at the MSSPA in poor physical condition. Since then, Motion has had basic handling and has shown herself to be cautious yet friendly towards people. Initial vet evaluation upon intake showed her to have an old injury which might impact her ability to be ridden in future. However, after a year of healing in the MSSPA’s excellent care, she was reevaluated prior to joining our program and happily found to be sound with no major physical concerns. She gets along well with other horses, and has been settling right into her new environment here at HWH.

Motion has shown herself to be a pleasure to lead and handle for basic groundwork. She  does struggle with the vet and farrier, and we will be working on this. After x-rays revealed her to have very thin soles with negative angles, we have added front shoes for Motion. She loves baths, can work independently away from her friends, and connects well with a handler in the round pen. We will post further updates as we continue to work with this sweet mare.
