2013 Norwegian Fjord Gelding

Drummer and Christmas have been good friends since they were about 4 months old.  They have great communication and can be a good representation of interspecies communication (even though donkeys and horses are similar in many ways).  He is a good candidate for going through a more horse-led approach to saddling and determining consent based around if or how he would like to be ridden. He's expressive and will mutually groom people and likes to put things in his mouth. 

​Drummer is part of a research herd associated with Equine International as part of an ongoing collaborative effort to facilitate research in the field of equine therapy. This herd's behaviors and responses to humans have been part of longitudinal research studies in equine wellbeing/welfare and equine-human interactions that will play a significant role in the research collaborations with Project ComeBack and serve as controls and comparisons for the dedicated PCB herd (which will create more robust findings for this work).
