About Naturally Blonde

Naturally Blonde participated in a division of the 2016 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge and was adopted at the event. She was returned in the fall of 2017 through no fault of hers. She went from her adopter to a new home for the 2017 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. She placed 5th in the Non-Pro Under Saddle division with her youth rider and was adopted to become a YMCA Camp horse at the event. She was returned at the end of 2020 when the camp shut down their riding program.

Naturally Blonde was returned in November 2022, through no fault of her own.

Evaluation and Training

Naturally Blonde is a very sweet mare on the ground. Everyone who has met her has commented on her great ground manners and sweet nature. She is good to catch and lead, she stands well for grooming and saddling. She’s good to trailer.

She was in the 2017 Bluebonnet Training Challenge’s non-pro division and did well. She was adopted by a YMCA camp and ridden by children. She was returned when the camp closed down, re-adopted by a beginner, and then returned.

Naturally Blonde went to trainers Sabine and Kelly Lazo when she was returned in early 2022. Unfortunately, they, along with their veterinarian, discovered that Blondie has arthritis in her front end and some hind end weakness. Those two things combined with her age and swayed back leave her unrideable.

We would love to find her a home as a beloved pet – since she loves attention and is amazing to handle on the ground. She could also handle liberty work, equine agility, or in hand obstacles. And she could be a pal to a lonely horse.
