Rescuing abused, abandoned & neglected horses throughout New Mexico.
Meet Nola
During the 60 Day Groundwork Challenge, horses and their handlers work on a different skill each week. Skills include: Catching, yielding HQ/FQ, backing, leading, sending over/through/under obstacles, learning flag work, tying preparations, trailer loading and farrier prep.
Here is a snapshot of the work Nola did with our Volunteer Elizabeth P. during the challenge.
Nola continues to be a pleasure to have in class. She is generally calm and responsive for volunteers to work with and would make a well-mannered companion horse.
Nola has become relatively easy to catch, has calmed down significantly leading around the ranch and during class. She does tend to want to crowd her handler and claim space, so we are working on teaching her respect for our space. Overall, she is becoming a better citizen and is on her way to being a superstar companion horse!
Nola is a bigger mare that will form a strong bond with her herd mate/s. She is halter trained and knows groundwork but can be hard to catch when not worked with regularly. Nola gets along with mares and geldings.
