My name is
HALI!

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 needed to be completely started over by a professional trainer. Hali`s restart is going well. She has been ridden at the walk and trot in the indoor arena. She gets nervous outside but we are slowly helping her have short, positive experiences being ridden outdoors.

Hali was showing some signs of sensitivity when tightening the girth. After a thorough vet exam, it was recommended that we treat her for gastric ulcers. Almost immediately her symptoms subsided. She will finish the treatment before she is placed in her new home.

Hali gets along well with mares and geldings, and is easy to catch! She is an easy keeper and would do best with a slow feed net over her hay source and a grazing muzzle if she lives in a pasture. These feeding methods will also help prevent gastric ulcers.
