BEHS 1383 – Bambi

Bambi is very trainable due to her beautiful temperament and willing nature. Best of all, she is brave, inquisitive, and trusting. This was obvious when, shortly after arrival, she trotted right up to the largest horse in the field to befriend him. Also, this cute filly was the only horse to ever jump over a stone retaining wall to explore a pool area. Finally, when another horse was being loaded in a trailer, she took the initiative and jumped in herself! With her friendly demeanor, she will be the first at the gate to be caught, haltered and led. She can be touched all over and seems to enjoy grooming. Bambi has been tied for a short period of time next to a "babysitter" mare. Several times a week, all four of her feet are lifted, so she is good (but not perfect) with the farrier. As is the case with any weanling, her skills need to be refreshed often. Bambi has been in a mixed herd of mares and geldings. She gets along with dogs and cats, plus she shared a pasture with ducks, emus, cattle, and the resident deer. Given gentle and consistent training, Bambi will be a lovely mare for some lucky adopter.

Bambi readily walks in mud to investigate the water sprinkler and will drink while the sprinkler is bubbling. Bambi easily walks and trots on a lead and is being introduced to lunging. She is not happy when her stall-mate is not within view, so her current foster will be working on relaxing while alone and tied.
