Rides and very affectionate, loves lots of attention. Not fond of saddle, but should be with love and work. Will be the first to go on the next shipment out. Rapidly losing weight. Most of the younger horses find homes.
Many people wait for a younger horse when the perfect older one is at hand.
The sad part is, many people wait, but the horses cannot. They cannot wait to get younger. They just wait for that one true horse lover who loves enough to find it in his or her heart to save the older horse, the one who was discarded because of its age. The one true horse lover that saves the older horse is rare and special. The younger horse will have a thousand more days to prove his or her worth on the show or breeding circut, but the older horse already has done that.
