Temperament: Friendly and curious, will  come to the fence to greet you any time you go see him.  Follows my daughter around the pasture like a big dog.  Loves treats.  Does not like blankets, or fly spray.  Is a little bit excited on the end of a lead rope, his plan is to lead not follow.  Does not like to be stalled, weaves and paces, could not wait to get out!  A little nervous going in a stall and very excited when he comes out . 


Physical problems / health issues: Left front leg fracture and soft tissue damage causes him to limp.  He can and does run around the pasture and sometimes he pays for it the next day and his limp will get worse.

Interaction with horses: He is in a pasture all his own because of the quarantine and will probably stay that way once it is lifted.  His pasture is right next to a pasture with three horses they are only separated by the width of a driveway.  Since he arrived my Morgan who used to sleep right next to my other horses has now moved about  100 yards away from the others and he and Jude lay down and  sleep right across from each other.  They seems to have developed some kind connection.

Interaction with people: He loves my 14 year old daughter!  He will let you touch him all over, never runs away.  Likes to be groomed.  If you do something he does not like he will sometimes let you know by trying to nibble at you.
