About Maggie Mae

Maggie Mae was removed from negligent owners by animal control and placed with BEHS. In May 2016, she went to trainer Hilary LoBue for an evaluation. Hilary found out she was well trained to ride, and she was adopted before she left the trainer's facility in 2016. She was returned in 2019 when her adopter could no longer keep her. She was enrolled in the Non- Pro Under Saddle division of the Rescue Horse Training Challenge at the 2019 Bluebonnet Horse Expo. While preparing for the competition she stole her trainer's heart so she was adopted! Congratulations Maggie Mae on your new home!

Evaluation and Training

Maggie Mae leads and loads well. So far, her foster home says nothing spooks her: loud noises, sudden movements, charging/barking dogs, first view of the pasture and cows, roll-up door going up and down. She snorts, looks closely and then either slowly moves away or goes back to doing what she was doing before the weird thing happened. She can be pushy when being fed, but she responds to a verbal, "NO" and "Back". Halters, leads, ties, trailers, lifts her feet to have her hooves picked, walks up to me in the pasture, backs up on verbal command or the lead rope, and moves away from pressure on her sides and hips. Will do a turn on the forehand if asked to stay in the same place while moving her body sideways away from hand pressure. In 2016, she went to a trainer who discovered she was broke to ride. She's spent June-October 2019 being worked with and ridden by a non-pro to prepare for the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. They have ridden in parades, on trails, and in obstacle course competitions. Maggie is a gorgeous horse who does anything her Training Challenge partner asks - and does it well. She could do anything a lucky adopter wished to do!
