Temperament: Howdy is a very sweet boy with lots of affection.  He loves to have his neck scratched and loves his bath.  He is currently in a mixed herd and is at the bottom of the pecking order.

Physical problems / health issues: Currently has a case of equine warts on his muzzle, but nothing serious.  Has had an injury to his front right ankle that was never treated so there is little flex in that ankle, but doesn't show any soreness in it any longer.  Runs and plays with the rest of the group like nothing was ever wrong.

Interaction with horses: Gets along well with others, very submissive.

Interaction with people:

History: He was seized due to neglect.

Training / abilities: Because of Howdy's past injury the vet as advised that he should be companion only.  Possibly ridden by small children in the future, but would get another vets opinion first.

Experience level required to work with this horse: Beginner on the ground.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? No. Reared? No. Kicked? No. Bitten? Once. Other?  

Ground handling: Catch? Yes. Lead? Yes. Tie? Yes. Trailer? Yes. Clip? Unkown. Trim Feet? Yes. Bathe? Yes.

Special needs:

Other comments: Howdy is a very sweet boy who came from a home of obvious neglect, but even with this he shows no hard feelings towards humans.  He is very willing to do what is asked of him and I think will make a wonderful addition to someone's family.
