Red




Red was found running loose outside of Yamhill with his pal Ranger. We tried for over a month to locate their owners and have come to the conclusion that they were taken up there and dumped.

This is a nice tall horse 15.2 hands, his head and croup shape hint around that he might have some pleasure type breeding in him some are suggesting Tennesse walker. He always carries his tail up and off to the side, the vet found that his tail has been broken but is is healed and not causing him any pain. He is a sweet, friendly horse and gets pushed around a bit by Ranger. He cribbed when he was in the arena but since I have moved him into an outside pen I have not seen him crib.

Red stood quietly to have his feed trimmed and be saddled. Once I got up on him it became very obvious that the horse is not broke to ride! He was very gentle and quiet while I worked with him a bit, he is still pretty thin so I didn't want to stay on any longer then to just see what all he had as far as training.
