Temperament:
Christa is sweet most of
the time but has her
mare moments. She is
calm and very tolerant
but she holds her own.
Physical problems /
health issues:
Christa came into HfH
care malnourished but
has gained pounds and is
a good weight now. She
is an easy keeper and
could tend to gain too
much weight if not
watched. A previous
farrier thought she is
flat footed and unless
she is on hard, rocky
ground, her hooves would
need to be picked
regularly and trimmed
often.
Interaction with horses:
Christa is in the middle
of a large mixed herd.
She tends to stick with
the two other horses she
came in with but this
may be because they have
only been at the ranch a
couple of months. In a
previous foster home she
buddied up with a colt
that wasn’t hers and was
his new mom for a while.
Interaction with people:
Christa is very good
with people. She is not
scared of humans. She
wants to be a good horse
but sometimes needs
guidance. You can be
her good friend if you
offer her treats.
History:
Donation from an owner
who did not have the
finances to keep her
anymore.
Training / abilities:
Christa has been tested
at the ranch and rides
well. She neck reins
and has a soft mouth.
She responds easily to
cues. She needs
practice at backing up
but overall, she is very
rideable.

Other comments:
Christa is a pretty
horse who will make some
lucky person a fine
riding horse. Due to
her small stature, she
would do well with a
small person or a child
who has riding
experience.
