A horse is not a human and efforts to plug human thoughts into them are often to the horses detriment. Horses to not like lives of nearly steady immobility. They like and need movement.
The little mare here is Noelle. She is sweet and gentle. She has suffered serious injuries in the past and although she is healed her small size would require a small rider who was also a skilled rider. There are not enough of them around.
So she is in new job training. We have her at the horse lot and are training her to be a calm reliable little pony for rides on a lead for small kids. The best thing to hope for is that she ends up in a therapeutic riding program.
Even if that does not happen, she can have a very happy life at "Meet a Mustang" events for the CWHF and will be a great part of their mustang rides for kids.

Yes she will...she is a sweet personality, intelligent and Inquisitive...quick to win over, and once she trust she seems to trust with every fiber of her being...incredible, considering all she has been through...look up "resilience," in the dictionary and there should be a picture of her. Medicine Iron, the other horse in the picture, is a great horse too..but he is in the dictionary under Salad Bar, all you can eat! But I love him anyway. Hmm...five minutes to quitting time..I think those two need some attention on the way home ..-Lloyd.
