It's coming up on time to find Sue's next person, so with that in mind I am going to be 100% honest!
Sue is an amazing horse, she is athletic, willing, and very pretty!
Pros: athletic, willing, beautiful, smart, is the same horse at home as she is when you haul her somewhere, has TONS of groundwork, and is overall AWESOME!
Cons: Sue has a hard time trusting new people unless they are CONFIDENT, she will still be very green come auction time, hates snuggles and kisses
Sue is NOT a beginner horse and will need someone with patience who is experienced.
Here are Sue's accomplishments so far:
- tip requirements (lead, load, tie, pick up feet)
- clipped brand
- been ponied
- had a bath
- comfortably wears a saddle and snaffle bit
- has had me sit on her 3x and worked on flexing
- lots of desensitizating
- hauled to and competed in a show (showmanship 3rd & 5th, mountain trail, in hand trail, halter 4th)
- handled by other people
- massaged by licensed massage therapist
- lunges
- sidepass, haunch turn, forehand turn, lines up to mounting block
- turned out with other horses/a donkey and easy to catch
Goals for the next 30 days:
- get 30 rides (walk, jog, lope)
- haul to vet and have teeth done on Friday
- clip
- ride with other horses
- have feet done 2/27
If you are interested in Sue, please contact me to come meet her or even just to talk and see if she would be a good fit!
I will be willing to help with furthering training after the competition!
