“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 overall socialization:   She is petrified of people. If she is in a small pen, you can approach her quietly and calmly, and can halter her if you rub her first. Once you catch her you can pet her. She ties, (will stand there quietyl for hours). You have to be very calm with her. Very protective of her left side, but you can get over there. She will not try to hurt you, (sweet, but scared), and as such, needs an experienced, patient owner.

Explain manners:   This lovely red bay has great potential. Although she has been on halter, she is still pretty green. She is very attentive, but will need a lot of round pen work to not want to bolt in the open.
