Temperament: Calm and at ease around humans, although prefers to be left alone and will walk away from contact if not haltered.

Physical problems / health issues: Bobbi has poor confirmation in her rear  fetlocks and over time that has led to irritation of the soft tissues in the back legs/ankles. Her vet stated this is why her ankle is perpetually swollen and why she stands with her back feet under her. He said the leg with the swollen ankle is very straight. She also may have some irritation in her stifle. Bobbie is gaited however, her gaitedness contributes to her soreness in the rear-end by irritating the fetlocks. Her vet says she should not be ridden heavily but should be fine for light/mild riding

Other comments: Bobbi gave birth just a few days after moving into foster care, she allowed her foster family and other strangers around her baby and was very trusting. Her baby did not make it, he was a preemie, but she seems to have gotten over her grief.
