Stoney came to Longmeadow in May of 2024. Her sleek, slender build and cute facial markings had the attention of staff and volunteers as soon as she entered the barn. We couldn’t wait for her time in quarantine to end so we could evaluate her and see what this mare had in store for us. However, upon her first vet exam, we found she had a progressive dental condition called EOTRH, resulting in the removal of all her incisors. Stoney was a champ through the procedure and a great patient for our staff during the following weeks. She stood calmly as they flushed her mouth and packed her gums during her recovery. After weeks of healing, she was finally able to be evaluated by our trainer!
Upon evaluation, our trainer found that Stoney was trained under saddle in the past. She neck reined and was comfortable with a rider on her back. After a couple evaluations, our trainer found that Stoney was more on the forward side and was not a kick ride. She had a tendency to be impatient and was not a fan of halting under saddle. Due to these habits under saddle, our trainers believe Stoney should go to an intermediate rider who is comfortable with correcting her pushiness.
Stoney is a beautiful, silly girl. Because of her teeth (or lack thereof), she constantly has her tongue sticking out, an endearing trait for the mare. She is always sticking her head out of her stall to greet visitors and easy to catch in the field. Stoney is still working on her ground manners but has been a joy to have at the Ranch since she arrived. We can’t wait to see where this mare ends up!
