Adoptable Horse: Hali, a 6-year-old, 14.1hh mare Organization: Longmeadow Rescue Ranch, Union, Mo.
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 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, Longmeadow took their time establishing a trust on the ground before attempting to evaluate her. While they gauged her level of knowledge under saddle, they found she was quite nervous and tense. They 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!
Hali has been diagnosed with recurrent uveitis but she is wonderful for her eye meds and at this time, her flare-ups are minor and easily managed.Photo courtesy Longmeadow Rescue Ranch
