Wolke
Breed: POA
Sex: Mare
DOB: 2004
Height: 13.3
Color: White
Markings:
Location: Hitchcock, TX
Adoption Fee: $250
 

 

 

Temperament: Wolke is very sweet and soaks up attention.  She is willing to learn and trusts anyone.

Physical problems / health issues: No health issues.  However, Wolke has pink skin that burns in the sun so she needs shelter more than horses that are a darker color.  The pink pigment around her eyes and muzzle is especially sensitive so a flymask and sunscreen on her nose is a must. 

Interaction with horses: Wolke is turned out with a large mixed herd but within that herd is a subherd  of half a dozen horses that she is a part of.   She will stand up for herself if confronted but she is not aggressive.

Interaction with people:  If she knows you, she will greet you with a nicker.  She is easy to catch and wants attention.  Treats are fine, but loving on her is much nicer from her point of view. 

History: Donation to HfH.

Training / abilities: Wolke doesn’t know much but is willing to learn.  She can be haltered and led and has her ground manners but knows nothing but the basics of being a polite pony.

Experience level required to work with this horse: Intermediate.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? No Reared? No Kicked? No Bitten? No Other?

Ground handling: Catch? Yes Lead? Yes Tie? Yes Trailer? Yes Clip? Unknown Trim Feet? Yes Bathe? Yes

Special needs: Protection from the sun.

Other comments: Although she is a pony, Wolke has big movement and does not move in the usual choppy pony trot.  She is a stunning and unusual color.  She will draw a lot of attention once she is trained and ridden by some lucky child.  The name “Wolke” means “cloud” in German.
