About this item

Breed: Thoroughbred Gender: Gelding Age: 25 Height: 16.2hh Color: Bay Disciplines: Companion, Trail Riding, Western Pleasure, English Pleasure, Therapy - Non-Riding Adoption fee: $600 Location: Longmeadow Rescue Ranch — Union, MO Tall, dark, and handsome, this gelding OTTB is looking for his forever home. Ray quickly became a ranch favorite with his personable demeanor and complete disregard for where his tongue is (spoiler alert, it's usually hanging out of his mouth!). He came to us as an owner surrender who had used him as a trail horse. We discovered Ray had a painful progressive dental condition called EOTRH and needed his incisors removed. He can still eat hay and grain, as EOTRH doesn’t affect molars. He has the typical "jewelry" of a 25 year old OTTB, including osselets on his front fetlocks and age appropriate arthritis. The kicker is that Ray hasn't kept track of the years and is living as his former 8 year old self. Ray loves attention but gets along with everyone he meets. He's an energetic guy who will likely need a confident intermediate rider. He would also be happy as a pasture pet. Ray does have Cushings and gobbles up his Prascend tab with his morning grain mash. Who wouldn't enjoy having this comedic silver fox in their backyard? Maximum Carrying Weight (tack plus rider): 250 lbs Longmeadow Rescue Ranch is a rescue; this horse is for adoption, not for sale.
