Horses with Hope presents Tommy, a 2011 Paint Gelding

Tommy was saved in November 2014 from a PA kill pen. He had been ridden bareback in a video and appeared well broke. After his quarantine, he arrived at a sister rescue in Maryland that December. While at there, they noticed that he was afraid of being separated and attached himself to a draft horse that was rescued along with Tommy. Tommy would just bury his head into the side of the draft horse and hide. They worked a lot with Tommy and thought he had worked through his stress and were able to adopt him out. Unfortunately, the new home did not have another horse, and Tommy was unable to handle being alone. In a cooperative effort, we adopted Tommy and brought him to Horses with Hope in order to provide him with more intensive training. Although he still has issues with being separated, especially when inside a barn, he has made tremendous progress.
