In 2002 on a PMU ranch in Canada, a Percheron/Morgan/Paint
cross mare, MAGGIE, was born. Separated from her mother at
about 3 months of age she was shipped to her new owner in
Maine. As a 5 year old, she was donated to a
therapeutic riding facility but proved to be too green for
the program. Since her departure from the therapeutic
riding program, she has found a new lease on life and love
at a home with TLAER Assistant Instructor, Michelle
Melaragno. Maggie has progressed nicely with Natural
Horsemanship techniques and loves to “step up” onto
ANYTHING. She is considering a full time modeling
career, having now been featured in a book and magazine
articles about TLAER! She has assisted as a demo horse
in several TLAER Operations and Awareness Level courses in
the Northeast states. Although she preferred working
with her mini-partner Pippin (see below memorial), she has
finally accepted Zephyr as Pippin’s stand-in. Maggie
resides in a pasture in Maine.
