Queenie was a rescue horse. When she came she had a very low opinion of humans! It took a long time for her to drop her shoulders and be happy, relaxed and enjoy life again. Once bonded with this horse she loves to please and really enjoys being spoilt! Queenie has taught me a huge amount about horse behaviour and it has totally transformed my thinking and training - she is a great teacher and I find I never get tired of learning from her.

Most suitable home and loanee/owner/sharer

Ideally Queenie needs to be kept together with other horses. She would enjoy a low key no pressure home with lots of hacking. She hates schooling - but wil do it if the rider is exstremly lite on the reigns and does not pressurise her. She loves work at liberty and rope work and it really helps to develop a bond with her. She needs an understanding experienced home and not an owner who will show her a whip or anger if she goes into her default mode.

Please describe your horses behaviour in traffic

Not worried in lite or heavy traffic. Used to passing tractors on small lanes. Fine with bikes and motorbikes.

Please describe your horses behaviour when hacking out alone and in company

Will hack out in company very happily and leads well from Other horses. Not happy to leave the yard alone or comfortable hacking alone. She can get quite herd bound. OK if human accompanies her on foot or bike! Queenie is great to hack-much better when in regular work, she is relaxed and would never bolt, will canter through an open field on a loose reign or halter!

Details of any individual behavioural traits which may influence the type of person best suited to take on the horse

Because queenie was so misunderstood in her past she learnt to stick up for her self. If she feels threatened she will attack a human. Most of the time with warning. This could be a kick or bite. She now very rarely shows these traits but it is her defensive default mode. She is fine with other horses and lives with them happily. Queenie is Used to lots of children running around noisely and they can lead her around but she won't always tolarate them messing about with her.

Details of the activities that the horse must not participate in due to previous injury

None. Although Queenie will jump she has no natural ability or desire to! But with plenty of gental training and praise she may learn to enjoy it!

Details of any problems when being ridden

Queenie can fly buck if not in regular work and is anticapating a canter! Like most tbs! But they are quite easy to sit to. If too much pressure is put on her with out her understanding what she is meant to be doing she would kick out, bite, rear any thing to frighten the rider into stopping. She needs a firm but very fair rider.

Horse vaccinated annually for flu and tetanus

Need to be stabled at night?

Yes, but only in winter
