History:
Winchester was a stray
donated by Friendswood
Animal Control.
When he arrived he had
the defensive nature of
a horse that has had to
fend for himself. This
has lessened with time
and attention.
Winchester was adopted
earlier this year but
returned through no
fault of his own.
Training / abilities:
Has awesome potential
for being a great horse
with training.
Winchester has been
ground driven for some
time now. We sat on him
and led him around with
a rider on his back and
he did fine. He even
fell asleep when
stopped; he didn't mind
us on him at all.

Other comments:
When Winchester first
arrived he was fearful
and would kick, buck,
bite, and stay away from
people. He has
progressed with time and
patience. He needs a
person to continue to
love and care for him
and to let him know that
he is wanted. With
continuous time, love,
and patience he will
blossom into a wonderful
loving partner!
