I know many of you watching the website don't know how much work has been put in to Tyra, so I thought I would add some more information. This mare would not even take a treat or feed from your hand. She was so afraid of all humans. Chelsea has been working with her every day and after months it has finally paid off. This week (3/1/10) she was let loose outside in the pasture with other horses for the very first time. It was pretty scary for Chelsea knowing she may be hard to catch. But all her hard work paid off and it was only a matter of minutes and Tyra came right to her. Thank you Chelsea for your dedication and hard work on Tyra and ALL the rescue horses. I saw Tyra outside the office! What a surprise! She is now trusting more and more! Chelsea has been working very hard to help this girl trust. She is now leading down the aisle of the barn. She is so afraid but is showing such a willingness to try. We are so proud of not just Tyra, but Chelsea for the time she is patiently spending with Tyra! Thank you Chelsea! We have finally had a breakthrough with Tyra! She now has a halter on and trusts volunteers enough to let them come into her stall and scratch her rear! She will let you scratch her stomach, rear, and chest but gets scared when you mess around any where near her face. We are taking it slow but we are happy to see some progress being made! One volunteer has been teaching her to lead. She is doing good but has a long way to go! Watch for more updates as she continues to learn! Tyra Tyra is a Quarter Horse mare who is currently in foal. We aren’t exactly sure when she is due but she should be ready soon as she has had milk for about 5 weeks. Tyra has been very difficult to get close to. Volunteers have spent hours trying to earn her trust and we’re not quite there yet. She has allowed one volunteer to rub shoulder but if you move fast she moves back into the corner of her stall. She’s a sweet horse and with time we are hoping to earn her trust and then be able to work with this beautiful mare. |
