Temperament: Sandy has a good temperament, she likes people
and other horses.
Physical problems / health issues:
Sandy came to us because
she had a clubbed left
foot. She underwent
surgery in April and is
recovering well. She
still has a limp, but is
coming along nicely in
her recovery. In
December of 2006, her
surgery leg was swelling
occasionally. It is
thought that the strain
on the other tendons and
ligaments during
recovery could be
causing this. We do not
know yet if Sandy will
be able to bear the
weight of a rider. She
needs some time now to
grow up, heal up and get
stronger. The vet
recommends that she not
be tested until she is
about 3-1/2 years old.
Time will tell. She has
no other health issues.
Interaction with horses:
She likes other horses.
She is in the herd with
two other mares (an
Arabian and a Quarter
horse), three miniature
mares, one miniature
gelding, two jenny
donkeys and ducks, geese
and two dogs. Sandy is
very gentle around the
ducks…especially when
they stand underneath
her to eat what food she
drops. Pretty cute!.
Interaction with people:
She likes people.
History: Donated due to clubbed foot
issue.
Training / abilities:
No previous use, just a
youngster. She has
general ground manners,
but has not been started
yet.

Other comments:
Long lines, tall and
lean TB filly. Still in
recovery from tendon
surgery, but prognosis
for light riding is
optimistic. With her
lovely disposition and
looks, this good-looking
girl is waiting for her
chance to make someone a
great companion. Check
