Navigator has bonded with Beau, and occasionally shows interest in one
mare or another. I have worked with him several times, but he simply comes unglued on the
trail. In the arena, he's a machine, so - Navigator is the arena horse!
Navigator came to The Golden Carrot because of an injury to his left
suspensory ligament, which has responded well to rest. He's a very excitable horse, and has
had some difficulty adjusting to the freedom and herd lifestyle, but has become more acclimated
with time. Navigator plays with most of the geldings, and is adept at removing
everyone's fly masks! His ground manners are good, but with returning health comes high
spirits which will soon
need to be worked down. I took him on one very short trail ride during which
he twitched and started at every sound. But he never ran away with me, and obeyed my signals
despite his obvious desire to do otherwise. He is a difficult keeper as he eats a lot to just
maintain weight, and has to wear shoes. His sponsor, Danielle Reel, has been faithful for
several years, but if anyone has an interest in helping out with his care and keeping, I know Dani
and I would both be grateful.
