Evaluation and Training
Pollyanna is easy to handle once she is caught and she loves treats. She takes a saddle pad, English and western saddle with no issues. Pollyanna has caught on quickly to lunging and can be lunged by a youth. Once caught she will let teens groom her. She stands for grooming, and she is good with the farrier. When she first arrived at the fosters, the horse did back up and kicked, but with groundwork and handling she has not done that since. Her foster family can even stand in the stall during feeding time with other horses around and she is a perfect lady. She will walk right in the trailer and will stand tied. She is currently kept with mares and the foster will continue to work with her so she can be a great addition to a family.
Pollyanna is getting ready for the training Challenge. With this summer heat, Pollyanna has learned to enjoy a bath! She is being fostered at a riding facility and does not mind kids hanging around. She is learning to stand tied with and without a saddle and is learning quickly. She has a very sweet Personality, and her trainer will start working with her to accept a rider.
