COMMENTS: When Augusto arrived he was a little nervous but he is getting better. He came in directly from an Amish farm. He will canter, but it needs work. He canters on the right lead very well. The left lead tends to get a little "mixed gaity" We do believe he was in saddlebred school. We do really like this horse and think he will do well as a lesson or academy horse.

HEIGHT: 15.1
ESTIMATED AGE:
WALK-TROT-CANTER: W/T/C
GROUND MANNERS: Very Kind. Stands quiet, good to work around.
GOOD ON TRAILS?: Not tried
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 3
COMMENTS: Mr. Goodbar has a narrow build. He rides well He came in a little thin but he is gaining weight nicely. He would not be a beginner, beginner horse but we do think that with some work he can get there. We believe he probably has been to saddlebred school. He is fairly high headed and would make a good Academy type horse.

ESTIMATED AGE: 2 yrs
GROUND MANNERS: He is good for a 2 year old
WALK-TROT-CANTER: Not yet broke to ride
GOOD ON TRAILS?: Too young
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 2 year old level!
COMMENTS: This horse was donated into the program. He needs to go to a trainer who has worked with young horses. He has not yet been broke to ride, but we are starting that process. He does lead, he is easy to handle and good to catch. He is a very pretty horse and is a well-bred horse.
SBR GROMMET
REGISTERED: Unknown - there is a possibility he is a Morgan
SEX: Gelding
HEIGHT: 16
ESTIMATED AGE:
GROUND MANNERS: Good. Very quiet and calm on the ground
WALK-TROT-CANTER: Walk/Trot/Canter
GOOD ON TRAILS?: Good. He is quiet and not spooky.
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 3-
COMMENTS: Grommet had bad feet when he arrived. They had not been trimmed in a long time. Since he's been here his feet have been done twice and they are doing fine. He came in at a good weight. He does w/t/c but likes you to post 1 diagonal more than the other. And canters one direction better than the other. He might make a good beginner horse. He is easily to get along with, kind and loves attention and working. He will go outside. He would probably be a good lesson horse or sport horse.
SBR WALLACE
REGISTERED: Unknown
SEX: Gelding
HEIGHT: 16
ESTIMATED AGE:
GROUND MANNERS: Good. Easy to deal with
WALK-TROT-CANTER: Walk/Trot
GOOD ON TRAILS?: Believe he would be good.
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 2+
COMMENTS: This horse came in skinny but is putting on weight nicely. He has probably never been to saddlebred school as he does not seem to know how to canter and does not stay on the rail. He is a good horse that doesn't do anything bad. He is not at all spooky so he would probably make a good trail horse. He just needs a rider that knows how to guide.

GROUND MANNERS: Good. Easy to deal with
WALK-TROT-CANTER: Walk/Trot/Canter
GOOD ON TRAILS?: Not tested
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 3+/4
COMMENTS: This horse is a cute as a button! This horse is game but not in a bad way. She gets showy but does flat walk. She would be perfect as an academy equitation horse. Your legs will not move with the canter. The canter does need some work to slow it down. This horse has never done anything bad. Not spooky at all. This horse gets two thumbs up from Nealia!

GOOD ON TRAILS?: Not tested
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 3

GOOD ON TRAILS?: Yes
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 2+
COMMENTS: Rex came from the Amish and is registered. He arrived in good condition and not thin. He stays to the rail and will flat walk. He would be good for a beginner walk/trot horse. He will canter but he doesn't want to. He would work for a low/intermediate level beginner horse.

GROUND MANNERS: Good - Stands quiet to get on and walks right off.
WALK-TROT-CANTER: Walk/Trot/Canter
GOOD ON TRAILS?: Not tested
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 2
COMMENTS: This horse came in thin and body sore. Not lame. Just sore. He was on the road. We have been using the blanket on him and working on getting him relaxed. He has a nice canter but it is better one way than the other. He looks like he was gaited at some point and has had his tail in a set. We believe as he gets more comfortable, he will get better in better. Right now we don't know how he would do riding in the grey area.

GOOD ON TRAILS?: Not tested
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 3+
COMMENTS: This horse has clearly been in a show barn before. He came in a little "Humpy" but we are using the magnetic blanket on him and it is helping. He would not be a "beginner/beginner" horse, but we do think he would make a great academy horse.

SBR MIA
REGISTERED: Yes
SEX: Mare
HEIGHT: 15.2 hands
ESTIMATED AGE: Foaled in 2010
GROUND MANNERS: Good on the ground. Safe and easy to deal with.
WALK-TROT-CANTER: W/T/C
GOOD ON TRAILS?: Have not tried.
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 4
COMMENTS: This mare was donated into the program and was never on the road. She is very cute! She was purchased originally as a show horse and she is very much that. She is not a natural flat walker. She needs to have an experienced rider with good hands. She does WTC, her canter is a little fast but we are working on getting her to slow down. We do not believe that she will fit into a big lesson program. But would make a practice horse for 1 or 2 people. Ideally we think she will work best if placed with a trainer.
SBR COOPER HAWK
REGISTERED: YES
SEX: GELDING
HEIGHT: 15.1 hands
ESTIMATED AGE: Foaled in 2014
GROUND MANNERS: Good on the ground. A little nervous.
WALK-TROT-CANTER: W/T/C
GOOD ON TRAILS?: Has been good but not overly quiet - Higher energy
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 4
COMMENTS: Never been on the road. Has been worked as a ranch type horse and it made him a little nervous to do some of the stuff they were teaching him. Has high energy and worries. Will swap leads at the canter. Was adopted out once before but the farm had to cut back and sent him back. We are working on ring work with him to get him calmer. He would be a sport horse type would probably make a good cross country horse or endurance horse for an experienced rider.

ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 5
COMMENTS: Nugget is available through either the adoption or the lease program. He needs an advanced rider that is light in their hands and calm. He has been shown in a full bridle once. We are currently getting him use to different riders on him.

COMMENTS: Linker is a sport horse type, and he also has a brain for a lesson program. He is very kind and easy to deal with. We are working with him to drop his nose. We believe he was on the road before. He will canter but it needs work by working him in a circle. This is a very laid back horse.
