About Spruce
Spruce was rescued by another organization and then transferred to Bluebonnet. Not much is known about his history before being rescued, and the other rescue did not handle him or work with him much before sending him to Bluebonnet. His foster reports that he can be pushy on the ground and a bit buddy sour, but they are working on it.
Evaluation and Training
Spruce’s foster home has been working with him since he arrived. He’s a cute guy who seems to like attention, but he may not have had a ton of handling before he got to her. She can catch him and lead him and he loads in a trailer. He recently had his hooves trimmed for the first time and did well, but he would benefit from a patient farrier who can give him more good experiences. His foster home has been able to put a saddle pad on him with no problems but hasn’t yet tried to saddle him.
Spruce is looking for a home who can either get him started under saddle or who is willing to send him to a trainer. He’s a cute guy who is a gorgeous mover, and he has the potential to do just about anything someone trains him to do!
