He's been playing with his buddies and continues to fill out and gain weight and muscle. He is looking really good ?<br/> <br/> <br/>From his traine july 2025:<br/>Enero is the most fun loving guy around, full of curious and playful personality. While green, he is kind and forgiving of his riders and will work for you all day. A great trail and dressage prospect as he matures and continues to find his balance and healthy movement with a rider. Not typically a spooky or reactive ride, and very thoughtful. Enero is a little more whoa than go and is always ready to stop and rest and reflect on his efforts under saddle. Because of this, I am putting him as Advanced Beginner with a trainer but an Intermediate rider will probably do better to get the best out of him and continue his training.<br/><br/>Horses are typically located in the Appalachian area, but please inquire about a horse's specific location when you apply!<br/><br/>We are looking to adopt to safe homes.<br/><br/>A history of good horsemanship, the ability to provide sufficient care with good vet, farrier and peer references are important. If you are a first-time horse owner, we will require you to board at a facility for the first year while you learn more about care. We encourage everyone to take advantage of riding lessons.<br/><br/>Foal adoptions require previous, established experience with youngsters.<br/><br/>Our adoption process makes sure you get the right horse for you – it is a no-fail process for finding the right match.<br/><br/>Apply at https://www.wvhorserescue.org/adopt<br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: THE INQUIRY FORM ON THIS PAGE IS NOT THE HEART OF PHOENIX ADOPTION APPLICATION
