Well Trained Horses

Vosi Part 2 - check out our earlier post to learn about this fun horse!

so starting on #fridays we are going to be doing #flashbackfriday to highlight some different horses that have come through the rescue! Check out this post and the other one that will be posted shortly after to learn about Vosi! First up is #Vosi who is a chestnut Trakehner gelding. Vosi is a horse who came to WTH nearly 6 years ago. When Vosi first arrived, he was underweight, terrified, and very untrusting of people. He would run to the back of the paddock if he even saw a ...glimpse of tall black riding boots. Through much patience and dedicated training, Vosi began to relax and develop healthy relationships with people and other horses. His intelligent and silly personality was finally showing through his initial fears. Vosi has since been adopted and is now is the most popular horse at his new stable. With his new found confidence (training) and love, everyone at his new stable simply adores him. Vosi was one of our most difficult cases of rescue so it is incredible to see him thriving and so loved at his new barn. If you know or have met Vosi, please share your pictures or stories of him! He is why we do what we do! #sonomahorses #horsesofinstagram #welltrainedhorses #savinghorseschanginglives #sebastopol #rescuehorses #horserescue #trakehner #trakehnersofinstagram #chestnutsofinsta #flashbackfriday #flashback

We love our volunteers! Elise, a new volunteer from Sonoma State, captured some great pictures of Garrett on Monday evening. He's got a way of working his way into your heart, especially with that beautiful blaze.

This is our sweetie Sami, going for her early evening walk. She takes some time warming up but give her some grass and she’s your BFF

Here's wishing that the new year will bring joy, love, peace, and happiness to you. Wishing you a Happy New Year 2021,from our family to yours! www.welltrainedhorses.com

Sweet Sami has been getting lots of love recently! She's getting body work done several times a week as well as desensitizing! With the cold weather coming in, Sami can be scared of her blanket sometimes. However, she's been working with volunteers several times a week to build up her confidence when it comes to encountering scary things!
