About Sunshine
Sunshine was removed from her home by law enforcement, and the courts awarded her to BEHS along with her herdmates. She was adopted in October 2010 and returned when she didn't work out for novice riders in her home. She was adopted in 2011 but returned when she was aggressive with another horse. She moved to a new foster home several months ago, and they've fallen in love with her. She's found a good fit and a family who loves her! Thank you to all those who fostered her in the past and to Lorraine for giving her a forever home!
Evaluation and Training
Sunshine's adopters rode her on trail rides and in arenas. She is well-trained but is very sensitive to weight cues, so she spun around when novice riders were unbalanced on her back. A previous foster home rode her in a round pen and arena. She did not have problems with Sunshine spooking or spinning around, but Sunshine did not like her rider to take up contact with her mouth. She relaxed when the rider kept very steady and quiet hands. She's a pretty mare and with some more training could be a nice show horse, pleasure horse or trail horse.
