DOB: 2005

Temperament: Hope‘s dam died after she was born so Hope was bottle fed.  She is a loner and a bit unsure.  She is sweet but can be a bit standoffish. 

Physical problems / health issues: None known. 

Interaction with horses: Her best buddy is Gossip but she is generally a loner horse. 

Interaction with people: Once Hope knows you, she loves to be the center of your attention.  You can be her best friend if you have apples or carrots.  She enjoys being brushed and petted and stands still for her pedicure.

History: Raised by humans rather than by her dam who died after Hope was born.  Hope was in a foster home that turned out to be a bad situation so she is now in a new foster home and adjusting well.

Training / abilities: Hope is trainable but has had no training yet.  She leads with coaxing.  She is food motivated.

Experience level required to work with this horse: Experience in training a young horse.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? No Reared? No Kicked? No Bitten? Yes, once, a while ago.  It was more like a nip when she was trying to get all of the attention focused on her Other?

Ground handling: Catch? Yes, easily Lead? Yes, but needs work Tie? Yes Trailer? Yes, but needs practice Clip? Unknown Trim Feet? Yes Bathe? Unknown

Special needs:

Other comments: Hope is looking for a forever family that will make her the center of attention.  She is young and beautiful, willing and smart.  With a little patient training she would make some lucky adopter a pretty riding horse.
