Information on Clover from his owner:
Clover is a friendly horse. He likes people and is easy to handle. He stands quietly when tied and behaves well for vet/farrier work. He enjoys being groomed and loved on.
Clover has only had ground training done. He is gentle around people. He does tend to crowd your space a bit, so we’re working on that. He is very bright though, and easy to train. He’s sensitive, so responds well to pressure. He is currently lunging over cavelletti.
Clover is also an amazing pony who any child (or even adult) would love to have. He’s adorable and providing we can get him sound, he’ll make a great driving pony.
Clover is recovering from an acute laminitic episode. He needs to be kept on a dry lot and off pasture. He is recovering well but still has sensitive soles so is best kept on soft footing. His prognosis for full recovery is very good with proper management.
Update (7/7/08):
Just an update on Clover, his feet are actually 100% sound now. He hasn't had any sole tenderness for the past couple weeks and stays sound when worked in the arena. Haven't been brave enough to try him faster than a walk on gravel yet. But he at least doesn't mind walking on the gravel.
He's feeling pretty spunky, and was quite a handful when I fly sprayed him yesterday! He pranced all the way to turn out afterwards.
