Temperament:
Shadow Man is very
playful and overall is
well behaved when he
respects his handler.
He's very approachable,
though also very
smart. He does have a
biting issue, this seems
more habitual than truly
out of meanness. He can
be corrected and
corrected, but he will
still do it. Any
adopter needs to be on
their guard with this
issue at all times.
Physical problems / health issues:
None known.
Interaction with horses:
Gets along fine with
other horses.
Interaction with people:
History:
He was donated to the
organization due to
biting, he did receive
professional training
for this issue, but
still has a tendency to
bite people when he
knows he can get away
with it. If you let
your guard down, he will
take advantage and
revert to the biting.
Training / abilities:
Well trained, been shown
extensively.
Would make
a good trail horse or
even a parade horse. He
is gorgeous, has great
skills under saddle and
is a smooth ride. He
stands well for mounting
and for tacking, picking
up feet. Neck reins and
direct reins, very
responsive and has a lot
of skill under saddle.
He could still be shown,
but with his recent
trailering issues, he
might be best kept
around the ranch or
farm.
