Heffner Hugh





This is Dave's new "poodle" horse. He is one year old, we picked him up last weekend from one of his clients house. Heff is a Baskir Curly, he is supposed to look that way :) In the winter when his hair is long its tight little curls, like a poodle. His mane and tail are dreadlocks, like Nathan's Captain Jack Sparrow hat. In the summer time when they shed out they look just like any other horse. Heff looks much better now, we have been able to clean him up a little, he was living in mud and was just a mess. He is slowly and not completely willingly learning to be a domestic horse, like haltering, leading and so on. It has been a challenge but Curlys are known for their calm dispostions and gentle nature. We'll Keep you posted on how that pans out... He will be having an appointment with the vet soon to be gelded which should definitely help move him in that direction!

He's adorable! Don't worry, he'll soon learn that he's landed in a great place, and that it pays to please the people who feed you! How old is he? Yes, I suspect that gelding will help!
Congratulations!
Love,
Mom & Lee
