It’s hard to imagine Chico abandoned near Dexter, NM to fend for himself as a colt about two years ago. He is such a happy-go-lucky guy that craves human interaction; he’s always ready for hugs and cuddles from his handlers!
Chico is the first to greet you in the paddock to be haltered for the next fun activity. He’s solid, with an alert eye on his handler and surroundings, and he rarely spooks. Chico loads well, picks up all feet easily, and performs in-hand lunging and obstacles easily. Because he prefers to be close to his handler, he sometimes needs correcting to move out and give personal space to his human.
Chico is a real love bug with great potential for the right person to take him to the next level of training. He has stolen the hearts of many of our volunteers, and he is more than ready to steal your heart, too!
