Miko is a 6YO dun gelding who was turned over to Ruby Ranch through the El Paso County Sheriff's Dept.  Along with his pals, Mosa and Sparkie, Miko needed a float and a good hoof trim.  Miko is friendly and willing, he just needs more consistent handling.  He stands at about 14.3+H.  Even though Miko may have rarely had a hoof trim, he stood for our very patient farrier and we were able to accomplish that task.  Miko trailer loads and hooks on in the round pen and is learning to disengage his hindquarters, lower his head and complete other ground tasks.

 

Update:  Miko is learning his ground training tasks and becoming desensitized.  He's particularly wary of that ole plastic bag, but takes a saddle blanket on his back and ropes around his legs just fine.  He's learned to lower his head, laterally flex and we're still working on picking up his feet on the first ask.  He's a stout and good looking boy who is easy to catch, friendly and doing well with roundpen work. 

 

Update:  Miko has an old injury to his right hind hoof that we thought could be rehabilitated.  We are struggling with keeping that hoof balanced due to a callous that formed from the coronet band on down.  At this point in time, he will be adopted as a companion animal who could be suitable for light riding in the future.
