 Andy
Breed: Quarter
Horse/Arab cross
Sex: Gelding
DOB: ~2002
Height:
14.1 hh
Color: Bay
Markings:
Star and snip
Location:
Brownwood, TX
Adoption Fee:
$500
Temperament:
This is a smart horse.
He learns quickly and
retains what he has
learned. He is curious
and not spooky.
Physical problems /
health issues:
None. Andy is an easy
keeper. He has great
stamina.
Interaction with horses:
Neither dominant nor
submissive, Andy fits in
well in the middle of a
large mixed herd of
horses. He tends to pal
around with the two
horses he came to the
ranch with two months
ago.
Interaction with people:
Andy is a little head
shy and would rather not
have people come
straight at him. He does
like treats, though, and
will come over to you in
a pasture to see what
you might have for him.
He only tolerates
grooming and objects to
fly spray.
History:
Andy was donated when
his owner fell on hard
times. He was adopted
out but was not suited
for his adoptive home
and returned to HfH
care.
Training / abilities:
Andy is easy to handle
and an easy going ride.
He neck reins and backs
up fine. He was ridden
by the ranch staff at a
walk and trot without a
problem. A previous
foster family found that
he bucked when
transitioning from a
trot to a canter but
this has not happened
yet with the ranch staff
riding him. His rider
needs to know that he is
quite sensitive to leg
pressure and that might
have been the problem in
the past.
Experience level

this horse:

Special needs:
Andy is looking for a
home with a rider who
can work with him
consistently and allow
him to become a good
riding horse.
Other comments:
Andy has the
conformation of his
Arabian side and needs a
saddle that properly
fits him.
