About Rigel
This gelding was removed from negligent owners and placed with Bluebonnet by the courts.
Evaluation and Training
Rigel had not been handled a lot before coming to Bluebonnet. He’s very nervous around people and hard to catch. Once caught, he leads ok. He has been saddled, but not ridden. The first time he was saddled, he bolted. The second time, he stood still but was very nervous. We don’t feel like he has been ridden before and needs to be started under saddle, starting with groundwork and building trust.
