About this item

Breed: Thoroughbred Gender: Gelding Age: 7 Height: 16.1hh Color: Dark Bay Disciplines: Companion Adoption fee: $500 Location: Kentucky Equine Adoption Center — Nicholasville, KY 2019 16.1 HH Dark Bay Thoroughbred Gelding "Preacher" is an easygoing gentleman with a sweet, laid-back personality. He enjoys companionship and a quiet routine, making him a lovely horse to have around. Preacher is seeking a non-riding companion home where he can enjoy a comfortable life. Preacher has several physical challenges that require thoughtful management, including a bone chip and bone spur in his left front fetlock, a cyst in his left front P1 bone, and some effusion in his left stifle. These conditions can cause periods of significant unsoundness, so he needs a home prepared to prioritize his comfort and provide appropriate ongoing care. As a hard keeper, Preacher requires a carefully managed diet to maintain his weight. He currently receives 1.5 scoops of Hallway Feeds Quantify® twice daily, regular alfalfa, and one Equioxx tablet. He is also maintained on a dry lot because sugars in grass can increase inflammation in his feet and contribute to discomfort. He recently received a left front fetlock injection to support his comfort. Preacher would thrive with a compassionate adopter who understands his needs and can provide the attentive care he deserves. In return, this gentle fellow offers the simple joy of his company and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in his life.
