“These assessments are based on how these horses respond in their current environment and any change in their current environment, riders, diet, etc could have an effect on the horses' immediate performance. Horses need time to adjust when moved to new surroundings. We highly recommend you visit, spend time with the equines and evaluate the equine before making a decision"

Explain overall Health: Wolke is a healthy pony that is bright white in color. Without shade she could easily get sunburned although her skin is black under her white coat. When it rains she turns dark until she dries out. She is a very easy keeper with good teeth and hooves. Wolke is as sound as they come.

Social Skills	Score		Score

Can touch face	A	Gets along with geldings	A
Can touch ears	A
Explain overall socialization: Wolke is very social to people and other horses. She handles well and is not dominant in the large mixed herd she is part of. After a minor run-in with a trailer, she had a bump on her hip that needed attention. She behaved like an angel even though the procedures to help her get well probably hurt her at the time. Her cooperation made the problem clear up fast and easily. She is very sweet and soaks up attention. She greets people she knows with a nicker. Treats are fine but she would rather have pets and love.

Explain manners: Wolke could not have better ground manners. She is very polite and attentive to her handler. She stands well for the farrier. Nothing seems to bother her. A beginner could handle her with no problem at all.

Explain overall training: Wolke is willing to learn and trust people. She has not been trained at all so she does not know much at this point of her life. She has big movement and her trot is not at all like the usual choppy pony stride. She will make a smaller person or child a wonderful riding horse.
