SILVAN
About Silvan
Silvan (That Says It All: Algorithms – Betterlethergo by Hold Me Back (Equibase).
Silvan is very athletic and willing to work. He has a fun personality and splashy good looks. He’s sensitive and powerful, but also very kind with impeccable ground manners.
Silvan shows great potential as an eventer, jumper or dressage prospect. He is forward going and would suit an intermediate to advanced rider or a novice with a trainer.
Silvan can successfully complete all fourteen of The Right Horse’s Basic Behaviors*, remaining calm throughout. The above video shows our students at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center working through a few of the basic behaviors with Silvan.
*One of The Right Horse Initiative’s earliest objectives has been to improve the consistency and transparency of processes in horse welfare and adoption. To help achieve this goal they developed their Basic Behaviors Profile – fourteen standardized, routine handling situations such as applying fly spray, catching and haltering, tying and blanketing. A horse that remains relaxed, cooperative and safe is scored as having completed that test item.
