Nasim came to Longmeadow in 2024 from a neglectful situation. The transition from her previous home to the Ranch was difficult for this mare. She was very buddy sour and paced periodically in her stall. She wasn`t too sure about the Longmeadow staff in the beginning and was more worried about what her equine buddies were doing. After some time settling in, a little bit of groundwork, and *maybe* the occasional treat or two, Nasim learned that this place wasn`t so bad. When she got the daily routine down, she settled into life at Longmeadow. After some time spent being rehabilitated, she was finally ready to be evaluated by our trainers.
The first thing our trainers noticed was Nasim`s gentle disposition. Though she could be a bit anxious when not around her equine buddies, she remained respectful during handling and was a sweet and affectionate mare. She enjoyed grooming and she stood well for having her feet done. Putting her occasional buddy-sourness aside, she was a delight to work with.
Upon evaluation under saddle, our trainers saw that Nasim suffered from lameness when ridden. She also has a noticeable swayback. Due to these physical limitations, we believe it would be in Nasim`s best interested to be adopted as a pasture companion. Nasim’s kind nature would make her a loving companion to any herd. She would thrive in a calm, low-pressure environment surrounded by other horses.
