We are working on preparing Veronica to be saddled. She has calmed so much compared to the fearful horse, distrustful of humans, that arrived at SAFE in early 2020. It has been wonderful to watch her transition. She recently worked in the Joel Connor clinic with Candi in June. Veronica can still be tricky to catch in her large paddock, so they focused a lot on catching and releasing.
Veronica shares her large paddock with Pepper and Sienna. Pepper seems to have recognized Veronica from their shared history as part of the Fall City 40, a group of horses rescued from a hoarder. Sienna took a little longer to accept Veronica, but now all three are napping next to each other. Veronica is a beautiful mare who likes scratches and as long as you aren’t trying to catch her, she walks right up to you for attention and has become a volunteer favorite.
