Raku is an engaging, friendly and curious horse looking for the right partner. She loves attention, and gets along well with people and other horses. She has nice gaits and is a responsive and forward moving horse. Raku is athletic and quick, and shows an aptitude for performance disciplines. She enjoys getting out on trails. With her sensitivity and athleticism, she will succeed with an equally sensitive, tactful rider. Raku is starting her training under saddle, and will need a confident, competent rider to bring her along, as she is still pretty green. She can be reactive, and needs help building trust in the rider. She has been ridden at all 3 gaits both in the arena and on the trail. She is brave in her environment, and has excellent ground manners. She is easy to catch, lead, tie, longe, groom, etc., and gets along well with other horses. Raku enjoys trails, and has the stamina and interest to do long distance and technical terrain. She shows an aptitude for work over fences, and could be a nice eventing prospect, or a good horse for a rider that enjoys Search and Rescue, or other long distance riding. She has been trained using classical horsemanship techniques, natural horsemanship, and both positive and negative reinforcement. Raku is currently in training with Erin King of All The King's Horses in Calistoga. She is healthy and up to date on dental work and vaccines. She is wearing four shoes. Raku and her baby suffered neglect, and have been carefully rehabilitated with Robyn McCallister at Horse ReCourse. Her adoption fee will help us support more horses like her.
