Bella
2 Update August 16, 2010
Update
Aug 16: Bella has been ridden all over the
property and learns very quickly. We think she was
definitely trained to ride previously. She still does
not know all her cues - but when she is unsure of
what to do she just stops and waits for clarification.
This is an outstanding riding horse with her whole
life ahead of her. Very sound and with an excellent
attitude. And just one of the prettiest faces we have
seen in a while. She has gained all her weight and
some muscle and is ready for her new life.
I
think Bella is going to be a very nice horse for someone.
Bella LOVES to have her ears scratched. She
ties well, picks up her feet with no problem. And
she hopped right into the trailer with no problem. Jeri
put a saddle and bridle on her yesterday. She was
quiet and accepting - even while chickens and a dog
were milling around her feet. Jeri got on and
we led her around. She was stellar - took it
all in stride. Jeri plans to spend more time
with her under saddle soon. Her hooves are a little
chipped but appear to be good and hard. They
are short though and she is a little ouchy on the
gravel. I'd like to see more hoof there
if she's going to be ridden - or she'll need shoes.
She has put on weight since Jeri's had her but
still a bit thin and of course needs some muscle.
She's about 15.3. Lovely color and sweet temperament.
She seems to get along well with geldings and mares
and likes to share a manger of feed with another
horse. Here are some photos. We'll send
more when we have her under saddle again . Jeri has
vaccinated Bella and given her a de-wormer.
