Temperament: BJ is gentle and athletic. He occasionally shows his Arabian personality, but it’s not a problem.

Physical problems / health issues: None. He has been vet checked, immunizations and worming up-to-date, good teeth, quickly put his weight back on.

Interaction with horses: BJ is not at the top or the bottom of a mixed herd.

Interaction with people: No problem for anyone who treats him right. He can be a little fresh when he has been out to pasture. He seeks interaction and shows his manners.

History:

Training / abilities: BJ’s foster has ridden him and thinks he probably was ridden in a pasture and around the house, may have been trail riding. BJ accepts leg and rein commands, he is light on the bit. He stops, backs and turns; nothing tends to spook him. BJ needs 30 days of training and to be ridden at least a couple times a week.

Experience level required to work with this horse: Intermediate – BJ is athletic minded.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? No. Reared? No. Kicked? He kicked a stranger once but has never offered bad behavior to anyone in his foster family. Bitten? No. Other?  

Ground handling: Catch? Normally can walk right up to him. Lead? Yes. Tie? Yes. Trailer? Needs some work. Clip?  Trim Feet? Yes. Bathe?

Special needs: BJ was very protective of Fanny when they came to foster, he let her eat first and watched over her. They are in separate areas now but are ‘fence buddies’. BJ’s foster dad would like to see BJ and Fanny adopted together if possible once her health issues (hernia repair and gain weight) are resolved.

Other comments: BJ is a beautiful horse. He would be a nice horse for pleasure riding and much more.
