Libby is a smart, fun and sweet young mare!

Libby came to us in poor condition with minimal training. While in our care we have discovered that she loves people and has a great brain! Libby loves to explore and have new experiences. She is willing and learns new skills quickly. Our team adores her.

So far Libby has learned to be caught, haltered and lead. She will let you pick up all four feet and is learning to stand for the farrier without the assistance of sedation. Her newest skill is loading in an open stock trailer. While initially nervous and wary of this big aluminum box, after just one shorting working session she was hopping on and off like a an old pro! After the session finished, she tried to follow our staff member back out of her paddock wondering what was next!

Our team brought her to an off property in hand obstacle clinic and she did so well interacting with new people and new horses and was confident going over and through the obstacles in the arena. She is currently learning how to stand tied and to be bathed. She is truly a pleasure to work with!

Libby is an easy keeper. She is a bit small in stature likely due to her rocky nutritional start in life. We aren’t sure what height she will mature to. We are currently adopting her out as a companion/ground work candidate as we are unsure of her potential to be started under saddle and ridden in the future. Recently Libby has been learning how to wear a saddle and has taken it all in stride. She will need a confident, experienced adopter who can continue her education or an adopter who will work with a trainer to continue her education.
