About KitKat
KitKat’s owner surrendered her and Starlight subsequent to Hurricane Harvey because she could no longer care for them. KitKat was adopted to become a riding horse, and we're excited to hear how she and her new family do together!
Evaluation and Training
KitKat is a cute, sweet filly with lots of potential. Upon arrival, it appeared she had no training, and her owner had indicated she was difficult to catch. Also, she showed some aggression (biting and kicking). KitKat came around in a matter of days, however, so it appears she had been reacting out of fear and nervousness. This filly is now easy to catch and halter – trotting up from the pasture to greet her fosterer and receive a treat. She leads well and has loaded in a stock trailer. KitKat’s hooves were in terrible shape when she arrived, so she was sedated for the first trim. She is now practicing giving her feet, but she is far from standing well for the farrier. This filly is somewhat insecure and frets when separated from Starlight, but she is improving with each separation. With consistent handling and training KitKat could excel in a number of disciplines.
