Markings: Blaze, 3 socks
Location
: Buckhorn, TX
Adoption Fee: $250
 

 

 

Temperament: Calm, gentle, sweet, curious, pretty, nice, baby-like.

Physical problems / health issues: None known.

Interaction with horses: Gets along well in a large mixed herd.  Irina is in the middle of the herd pecking order.

Interaction with people: Irina loves people.  She will approach you to say “Hi, do you have a treat for me?  No? Well then just a pet would be nice.”    

History: Part of a twenty-six horse seizure from Galveston County and was primarily used as a broodmare.

Training / abilities: Irina has had no discernable training.  She is barely halter broken.  With her friendly personality, a gentle trainer would be the best choice.

Experience level required to work with this horse: Intermediate on the ground.  She will need a gentle trainer to work with her if she is going to be ridden since she has a temper if pushed hard.  

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? No Reared? Yes, when pushed Kicked? No Bitten? No Other?

Ground handling: Catch? Yes Lead? Yes, like a baby Tie? Yes, but impatient like a very young horse Trailer? Yes Clip? Unknown Trim Feet? Yes, with patience Bathe? Yes

Special needs: None.

Other comments: Irina is a small horse that would not be able to carry a large or heavy person.  She would be perfect for someone small.  She has no fear of people, she is smart, and she is willing to please so she should be able to be trained in no time if gentle methods are used to teach her.  She would be great fun as a riding horse.
