DOB: 2006
Height: Growing
Color: Black

Arrival Date: January 2007
Location: Pleasonton, TX
Adoption Fee: $250
 

Temperament: Smart as a whip.

Physical problems / health issues: None.

Interaction with horses: Great – She is in a mixed herd with old and young horses. There is a lead gelding and a lead mare and Whitney knows her place.

Interaction with people: Whitney is slow to trust, but she really enjoys attention and handling once she is comfortable with you.

History: She was seized due to abuse and neglect.

Training / abilities: Typical for yearling. She can be trimmed. She will lead, but it is off and on and she is very hesitant. Whitney responds to verbal commands well. 

Experience level required to work with this horse: Intermediate.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? No  Reared? No  Kicked? No  Bitten? No  Other?  Well mannered and even tempered.

Ground handling: Catch? Yes Lead? Iffy Tie? Unknown Trailer? With coaxing and a feed bucket. Clip? No Trim Feet? Yes Bathe? Thinks the water hose is a horse eating beast that must be killed. I can wash her with a bucket of water and sponge though.

Special needs: None.

Other comments: Whitney has great potential. My vet loves her butt!?! Says she has cutting potential. Whitney is afraid still of the lead rope, and still needs to be caught with a cookie. If you raise your voice, she’s gone. She has made great strides in trusting people and will continue to improve with time.
