Evaluation and Training
Goose came to Bluebonnet from another rescue who said he was broke to ride. When he arrived at his Training Challenge partner’s home, he was much more horse than we were told. He was spooky and hard to handle. We sent him to trainer Courtney Fain for an evaluation and training in the summer of 2023.
Courtney has worked with Goose and says his behavior on the ground is much improved. He acted terrified of the saddle when he arrived, but he can now be saddled and bridled with a hackamore, although it may take a few minutes. When Courtney and her husband began working with him once he was more comfortable with the saddle, he would buck as soon as they put a foot in the stirrup. They’ve worked through that and have progressed to leaning over his back, but he is still very nervous and worried.
Goose is available for adoption only to a professional at this time. As his training progresses with Courtney and her husband, we will update his page and what type of rider he needs.
