My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Homer is a 10 year old pony gelding that would thrive in an only horse home and have a family he can really connect with. Homer does best with the same person handling him the same way. We all have been working with Homer so he can learn that trusting different people is safe, and that has been successful. We have been working with Homer to stand quietly when tied as he can get a bit impatient. Homer is great for the vet and farrier, and loves to be groomed. We have been refining Homer's skills on the lunge line, round pen, backing, and yielding his fore and hind quarters. Homer rocks being led through the in hand obstacle course and we are ready to start ground driving him after we introduce him to the saddle. Homer is a cute little dude full of personality.
