Temperament: Calm and sweet.

Physical problems / health issues:  Feather is thin, but bouncing back quickly   At one point, she had a head injury that caused some mild facial atrophy.  When you look at her “straight on”, you can see that one side of her face is not exactly the same size as the other.  However, you have to look hard to notice this.

Interaction with horses: Middle of the herd.     Has been seen to kick at another horse at feeding time, but not with the intent to make contact.

Interaction with people: Super sweet  and re-learning that people are nice to be around.

History:  Feather was abandoned and donated to Habitat for horses

Training / abilities: Not yet known.

Experience level required to work with this horse:

Has this horse ever: Bucked?  Reared?  Kicked? Not at people.   Only as a threat to another horse that got too close to her feed bucket.    Bitten?  Other?

Ground handling: Catch? Yes Lead? Yes  Tie? Yes  Trailer? Yes  Clip? Trim Feet? Yes  Bathe? Yes

Special needs: Right now, just calories and calm, loving people.   Feather was named “White Feather” because she has very light colored hair on the backs of her legs.    It looks like “feathers”.  We had no idea of the hair color difference when we first got her because she was so dirty it was hard to tell what color she really was.

Other comments: Feather is a real sweetheart and bonds closely with other horses. Right now, her best friend is Claudia.  They walk almost in tandem---they are like shadows of each other.
