About Shyloh

Shyloh facts:

• Haflinger
• Mare
• 13.3 hh
• 8ish
• Chestnut
• Working on riding, starting back with line driving. Trail in hand champs!
• Shyloh has gone through so many changes and milestones since I brought her home. She went from a shy scared horse to a wonderful, funny, hard working horse. I encourage anyone to read the blog to see her progress.

• She is still shy with people she does not know, but she opens up a bit more quickly. Especially if you have treats.
• I try to stay away from processed treats and sugary treats as much as I can. Shy works well for almonds, sunflower seeds, and timothy pellets.
• Shy is also a big fan of any berry, carrots, apples, bananas (including peel), sugar free peppermints, applesauce, dandelions, sugar free LifeSavers, sugar free Jolly Ranchers,  and dried spit peas.
• Shy does not like pumpkin, squash, green beans, whipped cream, chocolate, ice cream, or ravioli.
• Other foods Shy has tried (in tiny moderations): Funfetti cupcakes, broccoli, cauliflower, Cheese Its, Cheddar and Sour Cream chips, pretzels, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
• Shy prefers living and working/riding outside to inside. She currently lives outside on a 15 acre pasture with 4 other horses.
• Shy will attempt anything I try with her: barrel racing (not very fast though), jumping, driving, dressage, tricks. She is a good girl.
• We show in a driving circuit, even though Shy does not drive anymore. 
• Shy also shows lead line with Lily, next year we hope to be moving up to walk/trot!
• Shy can be sassy. But that is part of the fun!
• She is very independent. She has no problem with other horses and does enjoy the herd, but she will go off on her own when she wants to without a problem.
