Unless I've missed something or failed to read between the lines, she doesn't sound like a bad project horse. I hope that she finds the right home soon.

About Kia
Kia is 16.3/17hh, we think Arab cross Irish draft, she is between 11-13yrs old apparently but we don’t know for sure.
Kia’s behaviour.
When she first got to us she wouldn’t let you near her head and was terrified of the halter, We bought her a new rope one to eliminate the noise and after a few days she was fine having it put on and off even with a normal halter now. She will let you do almost anything with her, she will stand in her stable and be groomed she will pick all her hoofs up and pick them out, sometimes she puts up a little fight with her back one’s but it’s never anything nasty and all she does is stomp her hoof back down to the floor. She will tie up for a little bit but can get a bit restless after awhile or if she’s not getting fussed. She is a routine horse and if her routine changes she can get a little stressed (snorting and box walking) this mostly happens in a morning if she’s not the first out. She is fine with the vet, although she can get restless with the farrier but we just give her a feed bucket with her feed in and she’s fine.
Work done with Kia
Kia has been taken right back to basics we managed to get a bit in her mouth and have long lined her and lunged her and after a few minutes of confusion it seemed like she either remembered what she was supposed to do or figured it out. I have lay across her a few times and she wasn’t ever bothered and I’ve sat on her while she was laying down in the field and she didn’t bother at that ether. Unfortunately for Kia if we can’t find her a home by the end of feb she will be getting put to sleep, this is the worst case scenario as she is a truly amazing horse. We don’t expect any money for her we just want her to go somewhere she can spend what life she has left and hopefully become the horse I think she can be.[/quote]
