About Bombadil
Bombadil (El Huerfano: Tannersmyman – Adriftinthebay by Capsized (Equibase).
A program favorite, Bombadil is a true war horse with an old soul. With 53 starts and over $600,000 in earnings, he knows the meaning of hard work. Bombadil is athletic and has great work ethic. He is soft natured, intelligent and well mannered.
He’ll excel as a jumper or eventer but also has the versatility to be a trail or western pleasure horse. Whatever the discipline, he’ll be a gem. Bombadil retired sound and has no limitations. He is an easy ride and would suit an intermediate to advanced rider or a novice with a trainer.
Bombadil 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 Bombadil.
*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.
