Found Grey Gelding on Old Dibble, without halter but clipped!!! Call 803 270 2733 if missing it

Joanie Curry here.  I have been asked by a neighbor to help place his horse.  Actually it is his wifes horse who is currently in the hospital and they have given her no more than two weeks before she will pass away.

The problem is this horse is an 18 year old Cremello quarter horse stallion.  He is also a crytochrid.  He is broke to ride but has not been ridden in approximately 6 years as they owners are in their 70′s he used to be ridden by an 18 year old neighbor but then they moved here.

He is in good weight, may need a Coggins as I don’t believe he has had one in approx. 2 years but he has never left the property.  He is pretty well mannered on the ground.  He did have an injury about 4 years ago when he moved here (his leg slipped a bit under the trailer)  but he is sound.  He is about 15H high.

If you have any suggestions let me know please, I know this is going to be a difficult horse to place but they are nice people and the only reason the husband has not tried to move him before was because his wife did not want to let him go.  I am trying to help as the husband is, quite honestly, overwhelmed with the inevitable passing of the wife.

I have fed him and handled him with the farrier and no problems.  He is a fairly easy keeper.  I have never had him attempt to bite or kick.  I am going to also put this out to several folks I know as well as the SPCA data base.  My husband is willing to haul him to a new home up to an hour away from our house for no charge.

If you have any questions call me at work 803-643-9558

Thanks
Joanie Curry
