History:
Came into her current
foster home severely
malnourished but with
copious amounts of
senior feed, alfalfa,
and oil, she has arrived
at a proper weight for a
young horse.
Training / abilities:
Easily caught. Socks
can be tied for long
periods of time without
any fussing. She leads
well anywhere. Nothing
startles her; nothing
bothers her. She has
been walked along a road
with trucks passing by
and did just fine. Her
current foster home is
working on picking up
her feet, something she
had never been exposed
to before. Socks has
had a blanket on her
back but nothing with
any weight so far. She
has not had any formal
training yet but is
smart and should be able
to take direction just
fine. She is small but
fast and has a very
pretty gait.

Other comments:
Socks is not finished
growing but is probably
going to end up a small
horse when she is grown
so a child or small
adult would suit her
well. She is very
pretty and has an
unusually calm
personality for such a
young horse. When she
is found by her forever
family and gets some
training, she would make
some lucky person a fine
riding horse.
