Location:
Cleveland, TX
Adoption Fee:
$1,000
Temperament:
Very smart, curious and
friendly.
Physical problems /
health issues:
None known.
Interaction with horses:
Gets along fine with
others. Runs and plays
with the 'big' horses,
and they love him. Very
brave and quite the
leader. He is out with
the Hunt Co. horses and
they play furiously all
day. They are all on a
25 acre pasture and have
a 20,000 sq. ft. arena
to come into for
shelter. There are
stalls in the arena and
he knows which one is
his. They all get fed
separately and stay in
until Button has
finished her breakfast.
We have moved him around
here recently to try and
accommodate some of the
others. He fits in well
wherever we put him. He
was a little too frisky
for Opal the blind
horse, so we moved him
back with the Hunt Co.
horses.
Interaction with people:
Woody is friendly. We
just love him. Very
normal pony now.
History:
Donation in lieu of law
enforcement seizure.
Training / abilities:
Woody appears to be
gaited. Woody has been
under saddle for several
weeks now and is ridden
3 days a week. He is
being mounted from both
sides and he had his
first canter under
saddle today (Apr. 24th,
2008) and is very
smooth. Another couple
months of walk, trot,
canter and he can be
shown training level
dressage. An
experienced young person
or light weight adult
can ride him now. At
first he was a bit
exuberant, but now he is
much more relaxed. If
he is feeling "fresh" he
gets a few minutes work
in the roundpen. This
is one nice "little
horse"! He is
currently training at
dressage level 1.
