About Mr. Wrangler
Mr. Wrangler was placed with Bluebonnet by his owners when they lost interest in riding. He was adopted quickly but returned a year later (2022) through no fault of his.
In September 2022, he went to the vet because he was bucking under saddle. She diagnosed him with the beginning stages of kissing spines and gave him an injection. She said that he may need additional injections over time, but he also may not. Since he’s in the early stages of kissing spines, in her experience, often the single injection is all that’s needed.
Mr. Wrangler was returned in June of 2023 when he wasn't working out with the lesson program who adopted him.
Evaluation and Training
Mr. Wrangler’s former owners rode him around their property and down the road. He was ridden by both children and adults at his previous home. He was then adopted as a family’s riding horse. After being returned, Mr. Wrangler went to a youth rider to prepare for the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. She’s ridden him in a round pen and arena at a walk, trot, and canter. She’s taken him on trail rides and over obstacles and hauled him to other arenas to ride. In September 2022, he began bucking under saddle and a veterinarian diagnosed him with kissing spines (see his About section). He’s going to need a confident rider to bring him back into work and build his muscles, but he should make a nice trail or pleasure horse for a lucky adopter.
