Mo Mo

HEy everybody. Todays horse, actually pony, is name Mo. He is our newest addition to the Heavenly Horses string.  Is the most adorable little thing. He is an 18 year old 14.2 hh Pony of America. He is a liver chestnut with a cute appy blanket.  Both of his ears are tipped with white and his legs are all spotted up and down.
(I do not have the best pictures of him yet, will update when i visit the ponies next time)

        He is a nervous little guy. we are pretty sure he was abused. He had an intense fear of crops when he first came. We also had to walk slow and talk to him all the time. If we didn't he would get real nervous and dance around us. He is so much better, still a little claustrophobic with a lot of people in his stall but he is soooooo good with the kids and makes them so comfortable around horses. 
             He goes English and Western. He used to jump but he is old and has ring Bone in his front fetlocks. there is no pain or gimpyness but just a little restricted movement. We just think it will be easier and let him live longer if we give him the light loads. I love Mo Mo he is such a love.

Shilo

Shilo is our second mare that we have. She is also one of the two ponies we have. Shilo is a black pony and that is about all we know about her. we are almost 100% positive she was abused before she came to Heavenly Horses.  She is such a lovable pony, but she still has a fear around most adults especially men but she absolutely adores the kids.
      She loves to jump and go fast. It took a lot of practice sweet talk and patients before she would slow down and work like a pony and not a full sized horse! She excels in whatever we ask of her. When you walk up to her she will just start to nuzzle you and beg to be pet.
