Adoption Fee:

Temperament:
Snickers is cute, smart,
sensitive, and full of
energy. She reads the
mood of the person she
is with and adapts her
behavior to theirs. She
is very aware of what is
going on around her and
often appears to be on
guard. She is
cooperative with the
farrier, she loves to be
groomed, and she hops
right up into a
trailer.
Physical problems /
health issues:
None known.
Interaction with horses:
Snickers is currently in
a small herd of two
geldings, a mare, and a
donkey and gets along
just fine with all.
Interaction with people:
Snickers feels and
reacts to the person she
is with. If you are
calm, she is calm. If
she senses you are
afraid, she is right
there with you and will
panic. She is friendly
and will approach you in
a pasture because she is
curious and wants to
know what you are doing
and would like be petted
if you have the time.
Over the last two years
she has learned to trust
people; prior to that
time she had been
handled very little.
Her foster family has
gotten her past the
issues she had with her
ear and head being
touched.
History:
Snickers came into HfH
care from a case in
Wharton, Texas. Her ear
was split so her owner
could identify her in a
pasture. She still had
auction tags attached to
her tail. She was
traumatized and
untouchable.
Training / abilities:
Snickers has had someone
on her back in the past
but she is not at all
comfortable under saddle
and needs more
groundwork before she
can be ridden. Her
foster family is
concentrating on this
with her and thinks that
once she is solid on the
ground, she will
transition to saddle
just fine. When she
will panics now, she
stays in place and does
not bolt anymore. She
is explosive but her
bursts of energy are
evasive, not
aggressive.

Other comments:
Snickers has made a lot
of progress in the last
two years and is ready
to join a family who
will continue her
training and put all her
energy into being an
awesome riding horse.
She is pining for a
forever family to love
and take care of her.
Her foster family feels
that she is ready for
the next step and will
blossom with attention
lavished on her.
