COMMENTS: This horse has been lightly used in a lesson program. He was out of shape when he first arrived and we are working on getting him fit. He is not a beginner/beginner horse.
SBR AUGUSTO
REGISTERED: NEED TO DO DNA
SEX: Gelding
HEIGHT: 16
ESTIMATED AGE: Teens
WALK-TROT-CANTER: W/T/C
GOOD ON TRAILS?: Not tried
GROUND MANNERS: Good on the ground very quiet.
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 3+
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.
SBR MR. GOODBAR
REGISTERED: NEED TO DO DNA
SEX: Gelding
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.
SBR SUNNY
REGISTERED: Yes
SEX: Gelding
HEIGHT: 15.2
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 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.
SBR VALENTINE

SEX: MARE
HEIGHT: 15.2
ESTIMATED AGE: 20
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!

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): 2+/3
COMMENTS: Matt is a younger horse. He stays to the rail and he seems like he is a good thinker. He is still under evaluation after coming to us. Before here, he was being ridden at clinics, jumped lightly, and ridden on trails.

GROUND MANNERS: Good. Brushes, vacuums, stands
WALK-TROT-CANTER: Walk/Trot/Canter
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.

GOOD ON TRAILS?: Not tested
ENERGY LEVEL (1=Low, 5=High): 3
COMMENTS: Baydito came to us very nervous. But since then he has settled right in. He is a little "humpy" when you first get on but he walks right out of it. He is still under evaluation, but we do not feel he would be a good beginner, beginner 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.

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.
