Temperament: Haley was skittish at first due to lack of handling, but is coming around more and more.  She is still a little shy with strangers but really a sweet horse. She still doesn't stick around much of her own accord when free in the pasture, she's tentative.  With daily interaction, she's much better.  With a bit of time and training, she will make someone a nice mare.  She comes up easily to people she knows and is easy to approach and saddle.

Physical problems / health issues: We have to be careful when we change hay suppliers because she will colic so we keep meds on hand for her.  Not bad, just mild colic.

Interaction with horses: She tends to be a loner but does take up for herself with the mares we have. 

Interaction with people: Haley does love to be hugged once she knows you and will come in from the pasture to greet you. 

History: Seized by law enforcement, then awarded to HfH.

Training / abilities:  Haley is being ridden using a hackamore and has not yet been tried with a bit. Her foster mom rides her out on the road, and Haley is not the least bit spooked by traffic. They will be working with her more. She is her foster mom’s favorite horse to ride.

Experience level required to work with this horse: Strong intermediate, she's an inexperienced horse.

Other comments: Haley's foster family feels she has a sweet nature and with training, should make a fine family horse.  She's also very attractive, and loves treats!
