Horse
Sex: Mare
DOB: 1985
Height:
15.1 hh
Color: Sorrel
Markings:
Location:
Cocoa, FL
Adoption Fee:
Temperament:
Good. Calm and steady.
Tango can be a little
cranky and does not like
to be pushed. She is
not spooky. She prefers
to be left alone to
eat. She will posture
and can be very
protective of her food.
She appears to be
terrified that it will
be taken away.
Physical problems /
health issues: No
current issues. Tango
was very underweight and
had a hoof abscess when
she came into HfH care
but the abscess cleared
up and there have been
no more problems with
her hooves. Tango is an
easy keeper who is
gaining weight nicely.
Interaction with horses:
Tango gets along fine in
a mixed herd of five
horses. She is very
attached to one
particular horse in the
herd but has no problems
with any of the others.
Interaction with people:
Appears to prefer women
but likes a few men that
she is familiar with.
Tango is safe with
children that she knows
and who know their way
around horses. She is
especially fond of
people who bring her
treats.
History:
Donation.
Training / abilities:
Tango is not young so
she has not been ridden
much in her foster
home. She has been
under saddle and has had
an adult female on her
back as well as several
children. She would be
a wonderful lead line
horse or a good horse
for children to learn
basic horse care and
grooming. She is not
particularly interested
in trotting.
