Temperament: Spirited and very smart

Physical problems / health issues: None at this time.

Interaction with horses: Loves donkeys!  Shares her food bucket with two long ears.

Interaction with people: Initially it was difficult to catch Arizona, but we have left a break-away halter on her and have had her in the pasture for 5 days now, and it is super easy to walk up to her and catch her now.   She is learning to trust her new human family.

History: Williamson Co. donation. Arizona was a stray, and was awarded to Habitat for Horses.

Training / abilities: Not known yet.   Arizona leads very well, loads in a trailer, loves being brushed on.    We have not attempted to see what else she knows yet!  

Experience level required to work with this horse: Intermediate to experienced.

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

Ground handling: Catch? Yes, if you go slow Lead?  Yes Tie?  Trailer? Yes Clip?  Trim Feet?  Bathe?

Special needs: Kind voice and soft handling.   Arizona is timid until she knows you.

Other comments: Arizona is a VERY welt built mare!    The Sheriff's deputies who delivered her to our barn both really loved the way she is put together and said that she would even do very well in halter classes.    This is one classy girl!!!    At first, she did not know the fine art of eating treats---I don't think she'd ever had one!  Now, she's learned about horse cookies and takes them very delicately.

Arizona needs her teeth floated , but other than that, she appears very healthy.  Watching her trot across the pasture is like watching a big wave in Hawaii---smooth and poweful!!
