About Electra

Electra came to BEHS in Feb. 2011. She was part of a seizure of mustangs, and she hadn't been handled at all. She moved to a foster home who helped her gain weight and taught her to trust humans. Then this summer, she move
d to a new foster home to prepare for the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. She and her trainer/foster home were the Reserve Grand Champions in the Training Challenge. While working with her, Erika decided that she had fallen in love. She decided to give Electra a permanent home - we look forward to hearing great things!

Evaluation and Training

Upon arrival, Electra was skittish and leery of people. It appeared she had no previous handling experience. She can now be caught, haltered, and led easily. Electra is no longer guarded about being groomed and touched all over. In fact, she has grown to enjoy being brushed and adores being hosed off. She stands quietly when tied and trailers well. She has been started under saddle as part of the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge, and she and her foster home are able to walk, trot and canter in the arena and have been going out on trail rides. She's still green, but this smart mare could be used in a number of disciplines.

Electra is competing in the 2012 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge on October 20, 2012 at the Bluebonnet Horse Expo in Austin, Texas. She will not be available for adoption until the day of the Expo.
