About Daffodil

Daffodil came to Bluebonnet when her donor could no longer keep her. Her donor said they believe she is a Missouri Foxtrotter but her first foster home and foster home’s vet think she may be a Paso Fino cross.

Daffodil is a pretty easy keeper. She is very curious and can be very sweet.

Daffodil was enrolled in the Spring 2021 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. She was withdrawn because her Challenge trainer had to move, and she was quickly adopted by a family who hopes to make her the first of many Bluebonnet adoptions. Congrats Daffodil!

Evaluation and Training

In the summer of 2020, Daffodil was started under saddle by a youth rider. Her rider was walking, jogging, and loping her under saddle in a round pen and arena. In January 2021, she was put into the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge with an experienced horseperson. She rode Daffodil both in and outside an arena and on a few trails and did well with her. Daffodil is still green under saddle and needs someone who is experienced enough to bring her along. She appears to have a sweet, quiet personality, and will make someone a fantastic pleasure or trail horse with some training.

Daffodil will do best with an adopter that keeps her busy and working. She thrives on consistent engagement and having her mind kept busy. This young mare will make someone a great life long partner, and can go any direction her adopter would like to train her for!
