Evaluation and Training

Judge Roy Bean was evaluated by trainer Dan Keen in January 2017. Dan feels he hadn't been ridden in a long time and that he did not seem to know much, but he added that Judge is a quick learner, is trusting, and has a wonderful spirit. Dan worked with Judge on the ground for a while and then both he and Judge's foster home rode him at a walk and trot in a pen. He was a gentleman when being ridden - he never offered to kick, buck or misbehave. His foster home said he never even swished his tail and had his ears pricked forward the entire time. In June 2017, Judge Roy Bean went to spend four months with youth rider Sabine Lazo to prepare for the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. Sabine has been riding him and exposing him to many obstacles and fun things. She says that he's smart, brave, and willing to please. Judge is not suited for a novice or timid rider, though. He's a spirited, quick pony, with quick feet and a quick mind, and he could frighten an inexperienced or timid rider. Since he's brave, cute, and a nice mover, he could make someone a nice trail, pleasure, or even show pony!
