Temperament: Shyanna is a very sweet and loving horse who enjoys attention. She loves to be brushed, is easy to catch and trailer. She knows her name and will come to you. She will need to have her hooves worked on a consistent basis. In the future she may require shoes, but as of now she has a natural farrier working on her to correct her hoof issues. Right now it’s too early to tell if she will ever be ridable again or not. 

Physical problems / health issues: At this time Shyanna is not ridable. Her front legs and hooves are the main issue right now. It is very important that she be kept on track with hoof care. At this time we are having a farrier come every eight weeks, but she may have to be done every six weeks. It depends on how her hooves progress. For now she is coming along slowly. It will take time to get her truly sound. We are not going to rush her recovery and taking a chance on hurting her, or making things worse for her. She is also still slightly still under weight but gaining.

Interaction with horses: She gets along in a herd, has been dominant in some situations and not in others. Shyanna is very pushy at feeding time. In her current herd she shows no signs of being dominant, but will stand her ground. I consider her as middle of the herd.

Interaction with people: Shyanna is very sweet and gentle with people.

History:

Training / abilities: Shyanna is broke to ride, but with her current physical issues, we do not know if she will ever be healthy enough to ride again.

Other comments: Shyanna is a very cute horse.  She’s small but stout and a very easy keeper!  Though she can be stubborn at times in typical horse fashion, she has no bad habits. She will need separation for feeding as she can be aggressive with others when food is involved.
