About Phantom

Phantom was surrendered to Bluebonnet when her owners were investigated for neglect. He won the in hand division of the 2019 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge at the Bluebonnet Horse Expo and met his adopter. Congratulations Phantom!

Evaluation and Training

When Phantom arrived at Bluebonnet, he had not been handled. He spent time with a trainer to be tamed and start his halter training. He spent time with a youth handler in the summer and fall of 2018 preparing for the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge. He’s had a lot of ground work and learned to navigate trail obstacles – all skills that will be useful when it is time to start him under saddle! This summer (2019) he spent time with an adult handler preparing for a repeat visit to the In Hand Division of the Training Challenge. His handler says he wants to please you and be around you all the time. He gets brushed by lesson kids and has been handled by older children. He loves water and to be groomed. They have continued working on his ground manners, desensitizing, teaching him to navigate new obstacles, and teaching him to carry a saddle. He is not broke to ride but he has walked, trotted, and cantered with the saddle. They have played with bubbles, dragged a kayak behind him, jumped over low jumps, ponied him with another horse, walked over tarp, and have him hula hooped with no fear. He isn't spooky and doesn't even mind gunfire in the neighboring pasture. He is a sweet, willing young horse who has the potential to do almost anything!
