About Noah
Noah was part of a 150+ horse seizure from a rescue that went under. He and his herdmates were removed in a joint effort between Safe Haven Equine Rescue and the local sheriff’s department. He was placed with Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society after court.
Noah will be competing under saddle in the professional division of the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge with trainer Mariah Bridgman. He will be available for adoption on May 15th at the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge at the Circle T Arena in Hamilton, Texas.
You can follow their progress on their Facebook page.
Evaluation and Training
Noah is an extremely compliant boy. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. His disposition is soulfully sweet and he has never offered to bite or kick out. His foster home spent a lot of time on ground work, and with her Noah learned: to load and back out of a trailer, yield his front and hindquarters with minimal finger pressure, lunge easily both directions. He stands excellent for the farrier, baths, grooming and saddling. He gets along well with his pasture mate and the family dog.
His foster placement was told he had a prior accident of setting back when tied to a pipe stock. When doing so, he thrashed the side of his face against the pipe rail causing a molar to later get infected at the root. The molar was later extracted on. He will most likely always have a hard knot on the right side of his face though from the trauma. Because a molar was removed, any potential adopter needs to be aware that floats will need to be done every 6 months to file the molar below the extracted one until the age of 5- 6 years when the teeth are fully erupted.
Noah's spent time with a trainer preparing for the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. She has started him under saddle and he's doing very well - although he's still green!
Because of his sweet nature, in time, he will make an excellent youth horse, once ridden for a year or two by an experienced rider.
