About Roux
Roux was removed from negligent owners in a joint effort between BEHS and law enforcement. She was then awarded to BEHS by the courts. Poor Roux had a hard life before coming to BEHS: she had a nasty scary and old injury to one eyelid and a fractured jaw. Fortunately neither of those things stopped Roux from gaining weight and shining! In 2013, she spent two weeks with trainers Mark and Miranda Lyon who got her started under saddle, and then she went home to be ridden on her foster home's ranch. She patiently waited for someone to see her potential, and that happened over two years after she came to the rescue! Her adopter, Traci, adopted both Roux and Red Lady Tess and got to celebrate her birthday with two new horses!Roux spent two years with adopters before they lost her due to a lightening strike. Our sympathies go to her family.
Evaluation and Training
Roux is halter broke and stands for grooming, fly spray, and farrier work. She's easy to catch and loves attention. She spent two weeks with trainer Mark Lyon in February 2013 and was started under saddle. She learned to walk, trot, and canter under saddle and learned to navigate trail obstacles. She was ridden in both an arena and on the trails.She hasn't been ridden in a while because of her foster home's schedule, but they say she's easy to ride and a little on the lazy side. She had good potential as a trail or pleasure horse.Roux is still wary around her head, so her foster home always approaches from the right side and make no quick movements, but the only thing she does is move her head away---nothing aggressive. She stands for the farrier with no problem, and she's fairly easy to worm. She loads with very little trouble. She's easy to catch even in the pasture.
