Additional Comments:
Leroy came to me in good flesh in October 2008 at the age of 4. Since then, he has gone through a growth spurt, adding 1-2 inches in height and about 50 pounds of muscle. He has had absolutely no health problems, other than a minor bout of choke. He now has several large, smooth rocks in his feeder and the choke has not reoccurred. He is a very easy keeper, maintaining excellent condition on a small amount of alfalfa pellets, along with pasture and the appropriate amount of âMare and Maintenanceâ for a horse of his weight Leroy is very social and inquisitive. He enjoys interaction with people and the handling he received before he came to me was clearly well-done. You can pretty much do whatever you want with him as long as you donât rush. He is respectful. Leroy is reasonably well-mannered for a young horse. He does not crowd and is not pushy. He will take correction without becoming upset if the correction is fair. He doesnât kick or bite. He stands tied for grooming, farrier, etc. Unfortunately, responsibilities at work have made it impossible to work with Leroy on a regular basis. I had begun Clinton Anderson-type training with Leroy, planning to work with him a minimum of 4 times a week, but long hours at work have interfered. The training I have done with him has been VERY successful. He is attentive and responsive and a very quick learner. I look forward to being able to advance him fairly quickly once my responsibilities at work decrease.
