About Rosie

Rosie was originally rescued by the Houston SPCA before being transferred to Bluebonnet for training and rehoming. Rosie is a very sweet and intelligent mare. She is light and responsive on the ground, as she tries to learn what her trainer is teaching her. She has settled in well and is now beginning the next chapter of her journey with us, where she’ll receive the handling, evaluation, and support she needs to prepare for a safe and successful adoption.

Evaluation and Training

Personality & Manners:
• Very social mare who thrives in a herd environment
• Confident, curious, and loves having a job to do
• Bonds well with handlers who are firm, fair, and consistent
• Enjoys attention and engages easily with people
• Naturally bold and willing when introduced to new experiences

Training & Abilities:
• Settles into work quickly once she understands expectations
• Still working on being caught in a pasture, but easy to halter once caught
• Loads into a trailer independently
• Walks politely right beside you when being led
• Stands tied for grooming, baths, hoof cleaning, and fly spray
• Learning to stand ground‑tied
• Stands nicely for the farrier
• Free lunges in a round pen at walk, trot, and canter in both directions
• Lunges on a line at walk, trot, and canter in both directions
• Broke to ride but still green; currently ridden in a western saddle and snaffle bit
• Ridden in the round pen and arena at walk and trot in both directions
• Introduced to obstacles, trails, and new arenas
• Shows interest and talent for obstacles and working cattle

Care:
• Not suited to being an only horse
• Best suited for a confident intermediate rider who can continue her education with consistency and clear expectations
• Needs regular interaction and a structured routine to stay focused and responsive
• Needs a job

Why She’s Amazing:
Rosie is a fabulous, intelligent mare with a big personality and a strong work ethic. She loves obstacles, enjoys working cattle, and shows every sign of being the kind of horse who would shine in a ranch or working‑horse home. She’s bold, curious, and full of try—once she understands the task, she commits wholeheartedly. For an experienced rider looking for a smart, capable partner with grit and heart, Rosie is an exceptional prospect.
