About Buela
Buela was placed with Bluebonnet when her owners were investigated for neglect.
Buela is a pretty easy-going mare who does well in a stall or pasture. At her current foster home, she’s about middle of the herd hierarchy and is best friends with a gelding.
Evaluation and Training
Buela was evaluated by a trainer in late 2019 both under saddle and on the longe. At the time, she felt she had been ridden in the past but needed more riding time. She was then assigned for the fall 2020 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge’s non-pro under saddle division. Although her trainer had to withdraw from the Challenge, she did spend about a month riding Buela.
Buela’s new foster home has ridden her and is surprised that she’s not been adopted before. Although Buela seems to have been ridden western in the past, she also did fine in her foster home’s hunt saddle and had a big, ground covering trot that was easy to post. She stops well, direct reins and neck reins, and understands the beginning of lateral work. She has a rudimentary understanding of both leg yielding and sidepassing: she will perform the movements but they’re choppy and not refined. She is high headed when she moves, and her foster home feels she could be a very nice English horse once she learns to relax and lower her head.
Her former Training Challenge partner said she trail rode Buela and she did great on trails. This mare could be a nice all around horse for someone!
