This guy had a tough go, his owner allowed him to run with mares 24/7 and he was breeding with his own sisters indescriminately. He suffered a cut to a hind leg (most likely on poor fencing by the look of it) which was never treated, his teeth are a mess which is the main reason for his scrawny appearance. This chap has a parrot mouth which of course needs even more regular dental care than a horse without this fault.
He's lightly handled and needs castration and work of course but I feel he'll make a nice riding horse with the hard yakka put in. He's well socialised at least and has a nice temperment even though he bit the Vet that went to see him! He needs somebody to handle him properly for a few months and he'll be a model of obedience.
No name yet, still trying to decide what to call him. Why oh why are there so many people around that will allow this to happen with their horses and then when the manure hits the fan they just cut and run, leaving the equines behind?
