Interaction with people: Jude likes attention and is comfortable and friendly with everyone. 

History: Donated.

Training / abilities: Jude has been ridden in the past.  However, her age and sight problems now would make her unrideable.    

Experience level required to work with this horse: Beginner as long as they are aware of how to deal with her sight problems.  Jude needs to know exactly where you are when you are around her.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? No Reared? No Kicked? No Bitten? No Other?

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

Special needs: Because of her sight issue, Jude would not do well in a situation where she was alone.  She needs time to adjust to being sprayed with fly spray or water; you have to start where she can see you and continue on to her blind side. 

Other comments: Jude is an easy keeper and will do well in a home where she is a companion horse.
