About Tocho
Tocho and 11 other horses were part of a cruelty seizure in NE Texas. Tocho and his herdmates were awarded to BEHS by the courts. Tocho wasn’t halter broke or even touchable when he first arrived. A series of foster homes worked with him, each teaching him something. By the time he was adopted, Tocho was halter broke, led, loaded, stood for the farrier, and was carrying a saddle and bridle. His adopter has extensive experience with mustangs, and we’re sure to hear exciting things out of the two of them! Tocho joins BEHS horse Annie in his new home.
Evaluation and Training
Tocho came to BEHS as part of a neglect case, and both of his parents were BLM Mustangs. Tocho hadn't been handled before coming to BEHS. He's had three foster homes working with him, and he's now a different horse! He can be caught in pasture, leads well, loads, stands tied. He's learned to longe, line drive, wear a bit and bridle, and carry a saddle. His current foster home has sat on him once and is continuing to work with him to get him started under saddle. He's a curious and intelligent horse who is really willing to please. He is spooky/easily startled, but he settles down quickly. He isn't going to be a child's horse or novice horse, but he has great potential to do nearly anything. He’s a gorgeous mover and his foster home thinks he might be a nice lower-level dressage or western dressage horse.
