Chewy, aka "Rufus"

Foster Agency: Wild Hearts Haven
Year of Birth: 2022
Gender: Gelding
Breed: BLM Mustang
Markings: Red Roan/Appy, large star, hind socks
Adoptable: Yes

Just arrived from Wild Hearts Haven. Rufus was halter broke when WWH got him but not great to catch and had learned some bad habits and appeared to “outsmart” his previous owner. He did not know how to lunge and had learned to turn his butt and pull away. He has gotten much better but still could revert and needs someone confident or he will likely revert back to some of the habits. He is overall willing but still sensitive and startles easily. He has started lunging at walk/trot but it is still a work in progress. He is now pretty good with picking up his front feet but still nervous about hinds. He has started getting introduced to fly spray. To reach his full potential he will need an experienced and confident owner who can be patient and gentle with him. He's only 3 so he is a project!
