sweet horse who is kind
and has a loving heart.
He is never mean.
Although he is cautious,
he is gaining confidence
daily.
Physical problems /
health issues: He
had been underweight and
under muscled when he
came into HfH care but
he is healthy, wide, and
stocky now.
Interaction with horses:
DaVinci enjoys the
company and is accepting
of another horse but
goes about his own
business. He has put a
stud colt in his place
but not mean or
aggressively.
Interaction with people:
DaVinci is shy with
people. He is alert and
cautious. He might be
considered standoffish
but it is because he is
still learning to trust
humans. He nickers when
he is fed. DaVinci
loves kids. He also
loves to be brushed.
His friends bring him
carrots.
History: Donated
to HfH.
Training / abilities:
DaVinci accepts a bit
okay and he was
introduced to line
driving before starting
training under saddle.
He rode in the pasture
and loves apple treats!
Knows his basics start,
stop, left, right, back
and all his paces.
DaVinci needs a patient
yet firm handler who can
help teach him what is
being asked of him and
reinforce his training.
He needs a very
experienced rider with
training knowledge or an
adopter with access to a
trainer to help bring
this beautiful boy
along.
