Color: Bay with snowflakes
Markings: Star, left hind pastern, scattered little spots in coat 
Arrival Date: January 13, 2007

Temperament: Gentle, likes people, but a little unsure around strangers.

Physical problems / health issues: None

Interaction with horses: Submissive due mostly to his age - he is only two.

Interaction with people: Has a great personality. Likes to search for treats in your pockets. May get defensive if he feels threatened and it is possible he could kick, but this will pass as he gets more used to being handled.

History: Donated after owners could not care for him.

Training / abilities: He paces at the walk, but trots very nicely. He does not like to canter and does a sort of odd lope, feet flying every which way, when he tries. He should be a very comfortable trail horse but is probably not suited to the show ring due to his unusual gaits. 

Experience level required to work with this horse: Intermediate.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? No Reared? No Kicked? Yes, he had very little handling prior to coming to HfH. Bitten? No Other?  

Ground handling: Catch? Yes. Lead? Yes. Tie? No Trailer? Yes, stock trailer only. Clip? Unknown. Trim Feet? No. Bathe? Yes, is done slowly.

Special needs: None.

Other comments: Easy keeper. Very handsome and well built. His spots keep multiplying as he gets older! Soon he will be covered in snowflakes!
