Temperament: Smart, skittish and terrified of people.

Interaction with horses: Arizona is in the middle of a large mixed herd.  She is not pushy and gets along well with all the other horses. 

Interaction with people: Arizona really wants to be friendly.  She will stretch out her neck to reach people but she just can’t bring herself to get close at this time.  She needs positive reinforcement and time to know a person before she can trust.  She appears to be wondering what bad thing will happen next.

Special needs: Love and a forever family willing to go slow and easy with this girl.

Other comments: Arizona moves beautifully across a pasture.  She is well built and could carry any size person once she is rideable.
