Halliluke is a 12 year old Thoroughbred mare who joins us for continued training from Gerda’s Equine Rescue in Vermont. Hallie was rescued last year in a neglected condition from a Louisiana kill pen, and is believed to have had four foals. Prior to arrival with us, she spent several months in training with a foster in New Hampshire, where she was ridden at the walk/trot in the roundpen and out on the trail.
In her several months with us thus far, Hallie has displayed a very sweet personality and a willingness to work. She came with lovely ground manners, lunges well and has been very willing under saddle so far. She carries a lot of tightness in her muscles, and we are approaching her training in a slow, steady way focusing on relaxation and finding a stretch through the body. Once Hallie is able to let go and move with more softness, we feel that the pieces will really fall into place for her to make someone a lovely riding horse. We look forward to continuing the training with this kind and sensible mare, and will post more updates as they become available.
