Molly the haflinger

Well it has been a slow process due to too many things going on but we took Molly out for the second time since I got her from the rescue last summer. The first time I hooked her with another haflinger to a disc with no tongue. That was a disaster. As soon as I told them to go she just started kicking and made the other one nervous. We didn’t make any progress that day. Today I had an Amish friend bring over one of his belgians. When we hooked them to a wagon she kicked at the tongue three times. On the third time we found the weak spot with the knot. So an hour later after getting an new tongue and putting it on the wagon we were set to go again. It was a little exciting for the first few minutes but we got them in a 40 acre field with about a foot and a half of snow and drove them about a half mile. After that we went on the road and went another four and a half miles. By the time we got back she was behaving a lot better. She has a long ways to go but I think she will make it. She is doing very well for a horse that two “professional ” trainers said was beyond saving and should be put down.
