About Memphis
When Memphis arrived last year, he was emaciated and covered with severe sunburns (most likely due to eating a toxic plant that cause an extreme sensitivity to the sun). I thought it would take years before he healed, but after about six months most of his skin had healed and left him with just a couple of small scars. After his physical rehab completed, Memphis was adopted but was a bad fir for his adopter and was quickly returned. He went to a riding home and turned out to be green but nice under saddle. He's been adopted as a lesson horse - and his future is bright! Congrats to Memphis and to the children and adults he will teach! And thank you to Linda K for your hard work getting him ready for his new home!
Evaluation and Training
Memphis is a quiet horse who seems to get along well with most other horses.He leads, stands tied, and longes. He carries a saddle and bridle and knowshow to give to a snaffle bit. He has been test ridden a few times in hiscurrent foster home, and he appears very green. He's improving with eachride and tries hard to please his rider. He's been quiet under saddle sofar and has a lot of potential.
