“These assessments are based on how these horses respond in their current environment and any change in their current environment, riders, diet, etc could have an effect on the horses' immediate performance. Horses need time to adjust when moved to new surroundings. We highly recommend you visit, spend time with the equines and evaluate the equine before making a decision"

Explain overall Health:  Allegra had tendon release surgery in December, 2007.  She had a bone scraping on this same leg in October, 2008 which went well and she should have a full recovery according to the vet.   Allegra's leg has healed nicely from surgery.  She is probably always going to have a scar and it just looks like a lump with a small scar on top.  It does not effect her movement at all she is a very happy health young lady.  She should have no issues with it in future.

Explain overall training:  According to the vet, Allegra will be good for basic pleasure riding but can never be an event or working ranch horse due to the nature of her injury.  Her adopter must understand her limitations. 

 

Explain history if known:  Allegra got tangled in wire or pasture debris and damaged her hock.  The breeder was going to shoot her rather than invest in her rehabilitation.  A Habitat member rescued her and she was turned over to HfH.
