13.0 hh

Flea-bitten grey

Date: January
2007
Location:
Guthrie, OK
Adoption Fee:
$100
Temperament:
Trudy is a shy horse,
but is coming around and
getting to be friendly
with people. She is a
nice horse, but will try
to get the number of her
handler. With time, she
will gain more trust
with people. She is a
clown and a pistol and
anyone who enjoys a
challenge will love
her. I have never
experienced an Arabian
before, so I don't know
if this is what they are
like, but she has
tremendous personality!
Physical problems / health issues:
Trudy has a club foot
caused by her hoof being
nearly severed. She
swings the bad foot out
to the side when walking
but at a trot or when
she is playing it is not
noticeable. However,
once her burst of energy
is over, she limps
badly.
Interaction with horses:
Good, but she tries to
be dominant.
Interaction with people:
Good, she likes to play
hard to get, but once
you get her, she is a
doll.
History: Trudy
was found wandering the
street in Texas.
Training / abilities:
Unknown, probably
broodmare, leads well
after catching but not
easy to catch.

trimmed.
Other comments:
Trudy is a joy and has a
love of life that belies
any injury. She is all
heart, if she were a
racehorse, she would win
every time. She likes
people but she doesn't
want people to know she
likes people. She is the
first one to greet me
when I come out the back
door and the first one
to run me over when she
wants to get somewhere
else. She is beautiful
and fun to have around
and she keeps the
geldings on their toes.
