Ginger
Breed: Thoroughbred
Sex: Mare
DOB: 2003
Height: 16 hh
Color: Bay
Markings:
Location: Sealy, TX
Adoption Fee:

 

 

Temperament: Ginger is shy, energetic and high spirited.   

Physical problems / health issues: She has slight limp after vigorous exercise, probably due to old split in rear hoof.  This is still under evaluation.

Interaction with horses:  Very interested in other horses across the fence.  She is currently pastured with her companion, a 22 yo blind gelding.  Ginger is very energetic and friendly due to her youth.

Interaction with people:  Ginger is shy and avoids contact with people. She is very alert to all human movement and does not allow people to touch her. Her curiosity helps her accept people as they approach within a certain distance, but for now, we are still working on gaining her trust of people.

History:  Ginger was rescued with her companion Fred from auction.

Training / abilities: Untested.  Currently working on trust and getting her to accept touching.

Experience level required to work with this horse: Advanced or experience with starting young horses.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? NO  Reared? NO Kicked? NO Bitten? NO  Other? None.

Ground handling: Catch? NO. Lead? NO. Tie? NO. Trailer?  Loads only with her companion Fred. Unloads with chute into corral. Clip? NO   Trim Feet? Unknown  Bathe? Unknown

Special needs: Ginger is a young, excitable mare, who has had very little human handling.  She will need consistent handling and ground training.  Until she can be handled safely, and her limp can be evaluated, her prospects for riding are unkown.
