Adoption Fee:
$250
Temperament:
Helen is smart and
personable. She is
lacking confidence but
the right person can
easily give her this.
Physical problems /
health issues:
Blind in one eye from
some kind of trauma.
Her eye is recessed and
clouded over but the vet
says there is no reason
to remove it; the nerves
are intact. The blind
eye does not bother her
but she will startle if
she is not aware that
you are on that side of
her and suddenly hears
you. No other physical
problems; this is a very
well built and healthy
horse.
Interaction with horses:
Helen is in the middle
of her small herd. She
gets along fine with the
others but will defend
her food if someone else
tries to take it.
Interaction with people:
Helen loves people and
her favorite kind of
person is someone that
offers her a treat. She
loves to be brushed and
stands quietly when
someone pays attention
to her.
History:
Training / abilities:
Helen lunges on her good
side. She stands well
for a saddle to be put
on but it is hard to get
a bit in her mouth. She
knows no voice, leg, or
rein cues. She was said
to be trained but her
current foster has seen
no evidence of this
training. She is smart
and can be easily
trained once you gain
her trust. She could
benefit from a
professional trainer.
