About Carmen
Carmen was removed from negligent owners and placed with Bluebonnet by the courts. After gaining weight, her foster home began working with her and found out she was a nice riding horse. She was adopted by a friend of the foster home but returned to the rescue in May 2020 through no fault of her own.
Evaluation and Training
Carmen’s spent time with different foster homes as well as trainers during her time in Bluebonnet. She can be a little hard to catch in pasture for someone new, but she comes around once she gets to know you. She has learned how to lunge, and she’s been ridden both English and western in a snaffle bridle at her current foster home. Her current home has ridden her in the round pen, arenas, in open fields, and over obstacles. She gets nervous in an arena, especially if things are very hectic, and she seems to prefer trail or field riding. A previous foster home hauled her to 7IL and said she did great on both the trails and obstacles.
Carmen is not for a beginner or timid rider at this time. She gets nervous in crowds and will take advantage of someone who is timid. But with a confident rider, this mare can be a delight!
