Mo is ready for his next career...
Mo is doing really well in his progress to becoming something other than a race horse. He has been under saddle in a variety of situations now and responds well. His last outing was out in the cattle pasture with about thirty cows and one very BIIIIIGGG bull-no problem at all.
He ties, loads, clips, baths, tacks up sweetly, and is a doll for the farrier and the vet. He has been out on pasture with Salty and Shaggie, he does well with them and enjoys their company. He is a bit spoiled-thinking he should have all the human attention. When he is romping around the pasture he will do cantering pirouettes and flying lead changes. The only difficulty I have with him is that he has to be held when you mount him, he hasn't quite got over the track mentality of the rider being tossed up while he is moving. He does stand stone still while you get off though.
The plan when we got him originally was to re-home him when he was ready. My husband and I have fallen in love with him and thought that keeping him would be a good idea, it is not. Mo is a lovely, gentle guy who wants to be busy. We ride on the weekends only and that is only to futz around the ranch. Mo seems to need more, a job, to be busy. He is ready to become a wonderful lifetime companion.
Mo's pedigree www.pedigreequery.com/index.php?query_type=horse&search_bar=horse&h=DRUMO&g=5&p=0&f=1&l= his sire is Bertrando.
He was born in 1999 and stands 17.1 or 17.2 hands tall. He bowed his tendons at the age of three but is completely recovered. He has has two complete checks by the vet and she has found no signs of lameness or other health concerns. We have seen no signs of unsoundness since he has been with us.
Here are some pictures of him:
There is no rush to place this guy, we are happy to keep him until the right home comes his way.
Serious inquires only
