Temperament: Simply Special is a highly spirited and intelligent mare.

Physical problems / health issues: None known.

Interaction with horses: Special is turned out with my horses and runs in a 25 acre pasture with access to the barn where they all come in for breakfast and dinner. 

Interaction with people: Special used to avoid being caught, but she has come around and is easy to catch. Her shyness is gone. 

History: Special was awarded to this organization as part of a seizure.

Training / abilities: Comes in to her stall for meals, stays in during the day and is turned out to graze at night.  She is very good in the round pen wearing her saddle and bridle. Wears jugs hanging on both sides. She has good retention. We can leave her for weeks and pick up where we left off with no fear. Likes her bath with the hose. 

Experience level required to work with this horse: Experienced, as she is not yet fully trusting of people. She has overcome her shyness and fear, but will still need an experienced trainer.

Has this horse ever: Bucked? No. Reared? No. Kicked? No. Bitten? No. Other?

Ground handling: Catch? Yes.  Lead? Yes. Tie? Have not tried, but I am sure she will. Trailer?  Clip? Trim Feet? All four. Bathe? Yes.

Special needs:

Other comments: She is doing great. I had my doubts in the beginning, but now she is close to being backed.
