Baylee loves people

Physical problems / health issues:
Baylee had knee surgery
in January 2007 (her
story can be found here:
http://www.habitatforhorses.org/stories/baylee.html)When
she stood after her cast
was removed, she
suffered a fracture that
went almost completely
through the distal end
of the humerus (exactly
at the left shoulder
joint). The
vets refused to give up
on her; after three more
months of stall rest and
a few more months of
pasture play, she is now
completely recovered. The vets
took x-rays recently and
have declared her
Perfect!
Interaction with horses:
Pushy with her food, but
subordinate to another
mare currently sharing
her pasture. She
plays running games with
the two donkeys who are
also in the pasture.
She played "alpha mare"
with another mare
brought into the pasture
a few months ago, so
introductions should be
made carefully.
Interaction with people:
Friendly in the extreme
(OK, spoiled). The
months of being waited
on and fawned over
during her long stall
rest possibly made her
forget she's a horse.
She's kind of like the
overgrown kid in your
sixth-grade class who
didn't know his own
strength, and she can
play too roughly for an
inexperienced handler.
History:

Other comments: Baylee
has a winning
personality and is very
affectionate. The
exuberance she shows
when she's running
around in her pasture
brings daily joy to her
foster-people. She
is a bit of a prankster
and is also a thief when
given the chance to
steal things she can
carry in her
mouth--halters, lead
ropes, spray bottles,
hammers, other horses'
cookies, etc. She
also loves to play with
the water hose while
it's filling up her
trough. She will make
someone a wonderful
equine partner in life!
