About this item

Breed: American Quarter Horse Gender: Gelding Age: 25 Height: 14.3hh Color: Chestnut Disciplines: Companion Adoption fee: $350 Location: Horses' Haven — Howell, MI Non - Riding Companion Icon is a “horse’s horse”! He’s an excellent companion and proves himself as a quiet confident leader among the herd. He’s low drama with equine friends and confident to leave the pasture on his own. He can live outside, and stalls nicely as well. Although he’s very independent and confident, he responds nicely to reassurance from his handler if he ever gets uncertain. Are you a handler with a soft heart who is comfortable with setting boundaries? The ability to read and stay in tune with a horses body language? Spend some time getting to know him and you clearly understand and appreciate his signals. Sometimes he signals, "scratch me right here" or "I'm done with grooming today- thank you" While independent, he can be so sweet and affectionate, rushing to the gate to greet you, usually excited for a walk, a little grooming and grazing. Otherwise, he’s mostly happy to go with the flow with his herd. Icon needs soaked feed to maintain his handsome physique, but still enjoys grazing & hay. Daily nsaids keep him pasture comfortable (he has some age- appropriate arthritis) Come meet him & you'll fall under his spell! Horses' Haven is a rescue; this horse is for adoption, not for sale.
