“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"

 
General Health Score   Score
Maintains weight well  Z Teeth in good condition  Z
Hooves in good condition  A Overall is Healthy  A
Explain overall health:   Healthy. We have not had her long enough to confirm that she maintains weight well, but previous adopter did not mention any issues .

 

Social Skills

Score

  Score
Responds well to people  C Gets along with mares  B
Can touch face  B Gets along with geldings  B
Can touch ears  B    
Explain overall socialization:   She was adopted and returned, (through no fault of her own), and just arrived so she is still a bit nervous. She has a kind eye and was sweet once she realized nobody was going to hurt her.

Ground Manners Score   Score
Easy to catch  B Picks up feet for farrier  Z
Easy to load  B Easy to Bathe  Z
Easy to halter  B Easy to Trim  Z
Easy to lead  B Easy to Fly Spray  C
Ties  Z Kicks NO
Explain manners:   She performs adequately with experienced handlers. She needs to adjust to what you are asking her to do , (slowly), and to be worked with to gain your trust, but is willing. She was in a larger herd, (including the group she came in with), and was nervous being separated, but that was to be expected. Once caught, she led well. We have not tried to bathe her, but it was reported that she did well with bathing and farrier.

 

Riding Skills Score   Score
Stands while being tacked  D Walks  B
Stands while being mounted  C Trots  B
Easily moves out  C Lopes/Canters  B
Does well on trails  Z Runs  Z
Does well in arenas  Z Backs up  C
Explain overall training:   This was her first evaluation since arriving back at the facility recently so she was a little nervous being separated from the group she came in with. Once she calmed down, she could be saddled. She needs to be worked with to stand for saddling, mounting, and taking the bit, but again, this could have been nerves from being in a new environment. She is a beautiful and smart mare and looked great under saddle!
 
Explain history if known:    Seized as a estray in Grimes County and released to Habitat for Horses.
