Temperament: Nora is not too social a horse.  She would rather be left alone.

Physical problems / health issues: Nora is still slightly underweight but is gaining pounds well. 

Interaction with horses: Once her foal was relocated, Nora became a follower of Fargo, a horse who had assigned himself to be the protector of her foal.  She gets along in a large mixed herd and is in the middle of the pack.  She does not pick on other horses nor do they pick on her.

Interaction with people: Nora is not a people horse.  She has discovered treats and this may be the key to her training.  She can come around and be a good horse if a person has the patience to try to get her to interact rather than be so standoffish.

History: Wharton County seizure.

Training / abilities: Has not been tested but it is unlikely she has had any training.  She needs to be started on ground manners.

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

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

Special needs:.

Other comments: Nora has spent most of her life without any interaction with humans.  The right person, with the desire to work with Nora to bring out her potential, could work wonders with her.  She has no bad habits; she just is unfamiliar with humans and needs love and consistency.
