RASCAL

My name is Rascal...I haven't quite figured out why because I am a VERY good boy! When I first came here I wasn't quite so good , but it was mostly because I didn't know how to be. I was good in all the ways that really count.

I was left at the farm by a horse dealer. I was really skinny and raggedy and he was going to take me to an auction. Karla kept me because she saw how nice I was to all the kids and she wanted to rescue me.

For the first two years I was here she kept thinking she would find me a nice home where I could be a trail horse...I wasn't very good in the arena. It was only because I didn't understand it, no one had ridden me in an arena before. How was I supposed to know people want you to stay out on the rail when they're riding? I liked to go stand by the other horses!

Anyway, after a couple years I got much better at it and then I even became a good lesson horse. I'm especially good at teaching people how to steer and I'm good at teaching people how to canter.

I'm also a good baby sitter and companion because I get along well with other horses. I have a very easy-going personality!
