About Carrot

This boy was removed from negligent owners by law enforcement and placed with Bluebonnet.

Evaluation and Training

Carrot is good to catch, lead, load, and for the farrier. He's a sweet guy who likes attention.

Carrot's former owners told the law enforcement officer who seized him that they had ridden him for hog hunting. However, we believe if he was ridden that he wasn't actually trained or taught anything. Because of this, we sent Carrot to a trainer for a few months to get started/restarted under saddle.

Although the trainer was riding him in a round pen and arena, he's still very green and needs a rider with experience bringing young horses along or willing to send him to a trainer.

He's got a great mind, is not spooky or silly, and should be a great pleasure or trail horse with some more training/riding time.
