About Penny for Your Thoughts
Penny for Your Thoughts (Penny) was placed with Bluebonnet when she was retired from being a recipient mare at a large breeding facility. She attended the 2016 Bluebonnet Horse Expo where a trainer evaluated her and found out she was broke to ride. She went home with a new foster home to be tested as a possible therapeutic riding/Special Olympics horse. She passed her test and was adopted by the program! She’ll have an easy job helping children and adults. Plus, she will get plenty of attention in her new home!
Evaluation and Training
Penny is a quiet horse who is used to being handled. Her foster home says she's very sweet and nice to have around. Penny's training level was evaluated at the 2016 Bluebonnet Horse Expo. She did well on ground work - her only issue was a reluctance to back. She stood well for saddling, bridling, and mounting. The trainer who evaluated her said she direct reins and did well at the walk and trot. She's lazy and has a very good stop (he said stop was her favorite speed). She could use a refresher, but she should make a nice riding/trail horse as she's very quiet and easy to handle.
