Wish came to Longmeadow in the Spring of 2023 severely underweight and malnourished. She was unsure of her new surroundings, and it took her a while to settle into the Ranch’s daily routines. She was nervous, easily overwhelmed, and it was difficult for her to settle down enough for her to eat. Because of this, she gained weight very slowly. It was a while before she weighed enough to be evaluated under saddle, but after months of special diets and lots of love, Wish finally started to come around! She made equine friends quickly and soon settled into Ranch life.
Upon evaluation, our trainer noticed that Wish had scars down her spine, which led her to believe that she could have been subjected to poor saddle fit in the past. Our trainer’s theory was made stronger by the fact that every time a saddle was put on Wish’s back, she would buck. Because of this, our trainer believes that if a potential adopter wants to take Wish home as a riding companion, she will need to spend time with a professional trainer to address the bucking issue.
When Wish first arrived at Longmeadow, it was apparent that she didn`t like people very much. She has made a complete 180 and is very friendly now. She is the first horse to greet you at the fence and begs for attention. She gets along with other horses very well. She tends to be the “middleman” in a new herd and loves to spend her days frolicking in her pasture. She would be content as a pasture pet in the company of another equine. She will require an intermediate handler that can continue to help her gain the confidence she deserves.
