ilent Moments or Mo is a six year old Standardbred mare off the track and came in to the Rescue on October31, 2003. She tore the sheathing from her left front foot and is no longer able to race. She was a pacer but will now be retrained to be a trail horse. We plan on using magnet therapy to help her heal up. She has something of an attitude but will learn that her life has changed and she can just be a horse. She is about 150 pounds underweight so will get plenty of groceries.
s of October 2004, Mo has now been ridden twice and seems to like what she is doing. She hasn't ried anything goofy with John and is doing well but she still has a ways to go before she becomes a trail horse. She is still a little food agressive but in the past year she has learned to trust the staff and volunteers and will actually follow anyone around like a puppy when it's not feeding time.
n November 6, John again rode Mo and this time on the trail!!! She was absolutely perfect and did nothing stupid at all. She is coming along fine and by next spring, we feel that she will be ready for a new home.
ummer of '05 and Mo is now ready for a new home. She has done well in her lessons and is a willing partner. Her food aggression has waned and she's now in pasture with Missy and Joy. They get along well but it's hard to tell them apart.
