Additional Comments:
Eliza was abused and is timid around people. While she is making progress, she still doesn’t have a lot of trust in people. She is a very sweet mare and clearly wants to come close and trust. You can almost see her arguing with herself at times as she tries to drum up the courage to come up to you. Eliza has a summer sore on her left hind leg. It is at a joint so it frequently works itself open and the healing has to begin again. It should heal completely with time, but the process is very slow. She appears to have had extreme head trauma in the past since she has a dent in her head. This could easily explain a lot of her fears. Eliza is the least dominant horse in a mixed herd. Eliza has finally started to trust people. When you work with her you cannot be impatient or in a hurry. If you tense up, she will sense it and become more nervous herself. She can be very difficult to catch. However, if you hang out with her for a while, and just stand there looking away from her, she will usually come up to your back and put her head next to your shoulder. Staring at her makes her nervous. She will stand in cross ties to be groomed but is usually on her guard and tense. Eliza needs a forever home with a person who has experience with abused horses. In time, she will trust but needs constant reassurance, patience, and lots of love. Her adopter must be willing to invest a lot of time in her, but she will be well worth the commitment.
