About Sweet Sparrow
Sweet Sparrow’s dam, Lovely Lark, was placed with Bluebonnet when her owner was investigated for neglect. She was pregnant when she arrived and had Sweet Sparrow just a few months later. We believe Sparrow’s sire is Dudley, who won first place in the 2017 Training Challenge, exceling in the obstacle course and pulling a cart. Sweet Sparrow attended the 2018 Bluebonnet Horse Expo and met her new adopter at the Expo! Congrats to Sweet Sparrow and her family!
Evaluation and Training
Sweet Sparrow is a cute, spunky, and smart filly, who should mature to 11-12hh.. She has a delicate, feminine aspect and is endowed with a very thick mane and tail. Don’t be deceived by her diminutive size, because Sparrow is self-assured and can hold her own in a herd of large horses. This filly can be caught and haltered easily, but appreciates a treat in return. Sparrow leads well. She has been tied with herd mates for short periods of time and will load in a trailer with considerable coaxing. Sparrow does not succumb to the charms of a farrier, believing her feet belong to her alone. Convincing this baby to give her feet without hesitation is a work in progress. Sweet Sparrow in time could be a ridden by a lucky child or be a high-stepping cart pony, In the meanwhile, she would grace any pasture with her fancy looks and funny antics. Sweet Sparrow is a dominant pony, and she kicks when her hind end is touched. While she's a great size for children, she's going to need a lot of training to become a safe children's pony. She could be a companion for a horse or pony or a pet for an adult.
