“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 manners: Glory was evaluated by the trainer January 2011. She has been out to pasture for many months, so when we brought her to the arena, she was nervous. She did fidget a lot when being tacked up. She was mounted quietly and rode out, but was still preoccupied. Considering my horses were banging buckets, and kicking gates and the wind was flapping the covered arena, it is not surprising. The trainer believes she knows a lot more than she showed for this evaluation. She is very sweet, and in time is going to be a lot of fun to train and ride.

Explain overall training: Glory is a rideable horse but is a bit rusty. With some consistent riding, she will be fine. She has been ridden on trails in her former adoptive home but the ranch staff has not tested her on trails. Glory would be happiest with a job to do.
