Temperament: Shyanna is a very sweet and loving horse who loves attention.  She knows her name and will come when she is called. 

Physical problems / health issues: Shyanna has a continuing hoof problem which is under control with natural hoof trimming.  There is also problem with the tendons in her front legs that caused her legs to swell.  The swelling has gone down and hasn’t returned in the last four months.  She is small but stout and an easy keeper.    

Interaction with horses: She is in the middle of the pecking order in a small herd.  She gets along with the rest of the herd and does not start altercations with the others although she will stand her ground.  Shyanna can be aggressive at feeding time but this is not currently a problem since all of the horses are fed in separate stalls.

Interaction with people: Shyanna is very sweet and gentle with people.  She loves to be brushed and made pretty.  Treats are high on her list of priorities.  She plays with plastic bottles hung by her stall.      

History: Shyanna had been adopted out once and returned through no fault of her own.

Training / abilities: Although she is broke to ride, Shyanna is not currently rideable due to the issues with her front legs and hooves.  Her foster mom is hopeful she will be rideable in the future.    

Experience level required to work with this horse: Intermediate doing ground work.

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, extremely cooperative with the farrier Bathe? Yes

Special needs: Continuing care of her hooves and front legs under vet supervision.  There is no reason that she cannot be sound in time.

Other comments:  Shyanna has no bad habits except being pushy when it is feeding time.  She is cute and has outstanding coloring.
