2006 Shire/Thoroughbred Mare

Hannah is wonderful under saddle and a good candidate for potential therapeutic riding provided the people listen to when she provides feedback or doesn't want to engage.  She has been trained in traditional and natural horsemanship and is one of the smartest horses we've ever met. She has always enjoyed learning, whether through training or joint enrichment, or problem solving.  Similar to Rain, Hannah would enjoy being a part of a structured activity where she needed to think.  She also has issues with needles (as a result of poor handling by vets) so getting her used to people and strange objects near her will also be helpful in her healing process. 

​Hannah is part of a research herd associated with Equine International as part of an ongoing collaborative effort to facilitate research in the field of equine therapy. This herd's behaviors and responses to humans have been part of longitudinal research studies in equine wellbeing/welfare and equine-human interactions that will play a significant role in the research collaborations with Project ComeBack and serve as controls and comparisons for the dedicated PCB herd (which will create more robust findings for this work).
