Training Ponygirl

As some of you may have know, Ponygirl has been waiting for a new home since March 2009. She is a 3-4 year old Arab mare that had never been handled. She was very untrusting of humans. Ponygirl was placed in foster homes that could help with ground training, but after 9 months she still could not be haltered.

Buddy Defenbaugh who is new in the area and has training experience with similar types horses, contacted the program and arrangements were made for Buddy to take Ponygirl.

Well just after a few days, she is now haltered and has a saddle on. As you can see from the pictures, she looks relaxed and it is believed that she will be riding soon. Watch for more updates on her training.
