“These assessments are based on how these horses respond in their current environment and any change in their current environment, riders, diet, etc could have an effect on the horses' immediate performance. Horses need time to adjust when moved to new surroundings. We highly recommend you visit, spend time with the equines and evaluate the equine before making a decision"

Explain overall socialization: For two months we worked to pasture her with the other horses, feed, handle, let her go in stalls, etc.  She improved a lot, but is still flighty.  She does not dislike humans (she knows they have food) but is very nervous about being confined.

 

She is a Type A Mare and will run other horses off of their feed, if allowed to.
