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.      

Experience level required to work with this horse: Advanced beginner.

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

Ground handling: Catch? Yes Lead? Yes Tie? Yes Trailer? Unknown Clip? Unknown Trim Feet? Yes Bathe? Yes, is cautious of the sound, though

Special needs:

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.
