Bio: Cisco was found estray, picked up by the Llano County Sheriff Office and awarded to BEHS when no one claimed him.
History: Unknown.
Health/Lameness: None known.
Abilities: Cisco
does not appear to have been treated kindly in the past. He is leery of new
people, but once he is caught he leads well and will stand to be handled.
He is a cute horse and a great age to begin training for an adopter who is
willing to put the time in winning him over. He could be an adorable
trail/pleasure horse or even compete at open shows once trained. Cisco will need a special adopter willing to spend time with him. He’s leery of new people and new situations, and he threatens to kick if pushed too hard too fast (although he has not kicked anyone while in BEHS’ care).
Other:The Sheriff's department reported that Cisco bit and charged at their deputies and the veterinarian who drew blood for the Coggins test said that Cisco tried to do the same. He has not bitten or kicked in his foster home, but he does keep his hindquarters to anyone who approaches him and has threatened to kick when pressured. He is very leery of new people, but he is learning to relax.

Cisco was gelded in May 2006, and he has retained stud-like tendencies. He is a dominant horse in a herd situation and should not be kept with very submissive horses. Although Cisco can be hard to catch when loose his foster home can halter him in a stall. Once haltered, he leads fine and even loads into a trailer with no problems. |
