About Mocha

Mocha was removed from negligent owners by law enforcement and placed with Bluebonnet. She was emaciated when she arrived but has recovered well.
Congrats to Mocha and Mango! These handsome horses got adopted together. We're excited to see them grow up together with their new family - they're going to do great things!

Evaluation and Training

Mocha is a sweet, willing mare. She can be caught in a 15 acre pasture, halter in hand, no treats. In fact, when she sees a person in the pasture, she walks to them. She ties and leads. She will willingly lead beside an utility vehicle at both a walk and a trot. She picks up all four feet and has had farrier work. She will already walk over obstacles: walks onto the wooden bridge two feet, then backs off, walks onto the bridge all four feet, then backs off (as asked). She will stand inside a large tire. She is learning to longe on a short line and responding to "giving her hip" when asked.
Although she can't be ridden for a year or more, her foster home will continue to move forward with her training by introducing a saddle and even long lining to prepare her for whatever her future adopter would like to train her for.
She is a lot of fun to work with as she's willing to give anything a try. She is the perfect age to adopt and train! She's going to make someone a great partner!
