Temperament: Shy.

Interaction with horses: Turned out with a large mixed herd.  Gets along fine with the other equines.

Interaction with people: Timid but can be caught and handled.  Has discovered people have treats and will come for them.

History: Surrendered by owner who couldn’t give her the care she needed.

Physical problems / health issues: Large fatty deposits on her neck and rear end.  Has foundered in the past but has no current problems in this area.

Experience level required to work with this horse:  Because she is timid, currently intermediate.  When she is braver, she can be handled by a beginner.

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

Ground handling: Catch? Yes Lead? Yes Tie? Yes Trailer? Yes, but has trouble without a ramp or help due to her small stature  Clip? Unknown Trim Feet? Yes Bathe? Unknown

Special needs: Farrier says she is walking on her soles and has thin hoof walls so she needs to be kept on a soft surface.
