Temperament: Maxine is energetic and a bit opinionated but cooperative when she is haltered.  She enjoys being tacked up and ridden.

Physical problems / health issues: None.

Interaction with horses: Is part of a large mixed herd and is the leader of a trio that came to the ranch at the same time.  She is the protector of her group but is not aggressive unless she feels that one of her friends is threatened.

Interaction with people: Maxine prefers not to spend time with people but she is grudgingly cooperative when haltered.  When tacked up, she is excited at the prospect of going for a ride.

History: Estray picked up by law enforcement and turned over to HfH.

Training / abilities: Maxine has reasonably good ground manners.  She does not like to be removed from her small group but when she is, she knows what to do and is more cooperative.  Maxine is rideable but her skills are rusty from lack of use.  She should not be ridden hard at her age, but for occasional riding she is fine.      

Experience level required to work with this horse:  Advanced beginner to intermediate.

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? Yes

Special needs: Senior feed.

Other comments: Maxine needs a person who will lightly ride her and give her a purpose.  A change comes over her when she is tacked up and she enjoys being ridden.
