What to do in your spare time? How about train a wild mini? That's what Joan did. Joan adopted Merlin who came to us more pony size than mini. He had never been handled and was very wild and impossible to catch. Joan said she would take him and work with him. Well, what a match or maybe Joan is super talented (which is my guess).
After working with him and getting him to like to be be caught, she went out and bought herself a harness and small cart. The rest is history. After just a few months I think the photos speak for themselves. Way to go Joan and Merlin (now Boomer)!
Adana (now Seven) was found running wild with 5 other minis. She was 100% wild and had been returned 2 times as unhandelable. Joan stepped up and took Adana to work with her. Adana has come leaps and bounds and is getting trained to drive.
Many minis come to us with severe issues. It takes a special person to take them and earn their trust so they can learn. We never give up on a mini as there is ALWAYS a horse for everyone and Adana (Seven), Merlin (Boomer) and Joan all proved it! Thanks Joan.
