Temperament: Fiona is loving and a pleasure to be around.  She will come up to meet you when you are nearby.  Fiona has an exceptional personality and craves attention.  She is cooperative and willing.  She has feisty spells and gets frisky so you have to be aware of where she is.

Physical problems / health issues: She had a broken rear pastern bone that healed completely and does not appear to bother her at all now.

Interaction with horses: Fiona is in the middle of a small herd.  She gets along fine with other horses and with dogs.

Interaction with people: Fiona enjoys attention from her humans.  You cannot shower her with enough love.

History: Fiona was donated when she hurt herself in the pasture and her family could not afford to have her leg fixed. 

Training / abilities: Fiona has good ground manners but needs more training under saddle.  She is greenbroke.  When under saddle she has crowhopped so her foster family is now working with her to get over that.   She has unlimited potential for being trained to do any kind of riding.  

Experience level required to work with this horse: Intermediate.  Will need someone experienced with training young horses to work with her.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? Tried to once but it was more like a crowhop Reared? No Kicked? No Bitten? No Other?

Ground handling: Catch? Yes Lead? Yes Tie? Yes Trailer? Yes Clip? Unknown Trim Feet? Yes Bathe? Yes

Special needs:.

Other comments: Fiona is a striking paint mare.  Her photos do not do her justice.  She is gorgeous, tall, sleek, lean, and nicely put together.  Once fully trained, she will be an awesome riding horse.
