Temperament:
Cy is extremely sweet
and wants to be good;
however, he is very
fearful, and once he
gets scared he goes into
flight mode and will not
calm until he has left
the situation. Then he
will basically stand and
shake.
Physical problems /
health issues:
None known.
Interaction with horses:
Cy is on the bottom of
the pecking order and is
very passive in the
pasture.
Interaction with people:
Very fearful of
people. Extremely head
shy around the chin
area. He wants to be
friendly but is scared.
He does love to be hosed
off in the heat and will
stand in the pasture
without a halter to be
sprayed with the hose.
History:
Donation.
Training / abilities:
Being assessed at this
time. Currently having
ground work and
desensitizing done while
trying to get him to
trust.
I am just too
darn proud to
not share!!!
What a heart of
gold this boy
has!!!! He has
been worked with
consistently for
17 days…. I had
the farrier &
vet out
yesterday, and
that boy stood
quietly. He
never thought
about kicking
out, and when
the vet came, he
let her pet him
all over, and
even pull
coggins and give
shots without
even
flinching!! If
you get a
chance, please
take a look at
his website.. we
took pictures of
yesterday-
http://horseproblemstexas.spaces.live.com/default.aspx
The first couple
of pictures are
of Top (trainer)
practicing
picking up his
feet and leading
him by his chin-
someplace that
was totally off
limits until
recently- the
bottom ones are
of Joe Salaman (farrier)
and Dr. Shreve
(vet) feeling
inside his
mouth, and
giving shots..
He has made so
much progress,
it is really
amazing.
Experience level
required to work with
this horse:
Experienced to
professional. He
requires a lot of
patience and
understanding at this
point.
Has this horse ever:
Bucked?
Reared? Kicked?
Bitten?
Other?
Ground handling:
Catch? No.
Lead? Yes. Tie?

Trim Feet? Front

Bathe? Yes.
Special needs:
Cy will need a lot of
work before he is ready
to trust people. He has
come a long way but
still needs intensive
work and a lot of love
and understanding.
Other
comments:
Cy is a gorgeous horse
who, when he trusts,
will make an excellent
hunter type mount. More
than likely he has been
ridden in the past. He
has been saddled here,
but he shook the entire
time I was tacking up.
He has a long road to
recovery but is trying
very hard.
