About this item

Breed: Tennessee Walking Horse Gender: Gelding Age: 15 Height: 15.2hh Color: Black Disciplines: Companion, Other, Therapy - Non-Riding Adoption fee: $800 Location: West Virginia Horse Network — Charleston, WV Trooper is a tall, dark and handsome registered TWH gelding. Very nice breeding, and a very good looking boy. (He is "Pusher" bred for those who know TWH breeding). Trooper is easy to load on a trailer and gentle to handle. Trooper comes with some emotional baggage. Those who know his history firsthand say that he was hit in the face and treated cruelly by some of the handlers he has known. Incredibly despite how humans have betrayed him, Trooper is very kind and grateful to be in the company of a good calm leader. He has shown natural ability and willingness in terms of doing liberty work. He also recently attended a horse show where he competed in in-hand trail. He won 6th place in a halter class with over 25 entries! Trooper is great for the farrier and the vet. His only vice that we have found - he is sometimes difficult to catch when loose. If turned out in a large space, we highly suggest a break away halter and patience. Trooper will need an adopter with horse experience and a gentle/kind way about them. If you think Trooper could be the horse for you, submit an Adoption Interest Survey today. He will be placed as a companion (non-riding) horse. West Virginia Horse Network is a rescue; this horse is for adoption, not for sale. Message West Virginia Horse Network here on tacktack to ask about TROOPER and the adoption process.
