About Lazuli
Lazuli's was donated to Bluebonnet when her owner could no longer care for her. She was bred by and lived her entire life with her previous owner. She was well cared for and seems to have been mostly a pasture pet. She is very lovey and wants attention on the ground. Lazuli is blind in her left eye from a parasite that had to be surgically removed, causing a severe cataract. For that reason, she can be a bit skittish. Her foster has been doing lots of groundwork with her.
You can follow her progress on her Facebook page CLICK HERE
The Expo and Training Challenge will be held on October 7, 2023 at the Williamson County Expo Center in Taylor, Texas. For more information about the Expo CLICK HERE, or for information about adopting a challenge horse CLICK HERE.
Evaluation and Training
Her owner stated that Lazuli is green broke but hasn’t been ridden since her eye surgery/blindness five years ago. Prior to that she was ridden on occasional trails only. She appears to know basic cues for W/T/C on a longe line. She seemed nervous when a saddle was put on. She will be evaluated further once her teeth are floated.
Lazuli has taken an English saddle, girth and winter blanket. She was nervous but eventually relaxed and was not reactive. She is improving on standing still while being tied, groomed and longing.
Lazuli’s foster home says that she is an absolute cuddle bug and will walk right up to people to be loved on. She’s pretty easy to catch, she has to walk away once or twice first sometimes just to remind you she can! She has really improved on standing tied contentedly and loves to be groomed. She’s done very well with being bathed also and let her foster home clip her bridle path with no complaints. She stands great for the farrier now and has solid, healthy feet. She is also fairly easy to trailer load. She needs a confident person to lead her around though because she does occasionally start to push in and lean on her handler. So, she wouldn’t be easy for kids to lead (yet!). She doesn’t care much about dogs running around her, and she seems like a brave and curious horse- she’s walked right up to trucks and maintenance equipment in her pasture and stuck her nose on it without running!
