We would love to find sweet Reggie’s forever family as soon as possible.

We always feel bad for the younger guys who sit in rescues the longest. They deserve to find their forever families who can give them one on one attention and show them the world. Truly you can create a bond like no other raising them from the ground up. They are essentially “clean” slates that just need to learn all about life.

Reggie arrived in August barely halter broke. He was very head shy and was a little hesitant to be caught. Since being gelded in October he actually self catches and comes over asking for attention. He loves to blow kisses on your face.

He leads and ties great now. We are currently working on pressure to learn to back up. He has picked this up pretty quickly. He loves his wither scratched.

Reggie is a 2 year old Arab gelding around 14.2-14.3hh. He arrived very thin and still has aways to go to continue putting weight on his hips.

He is currently with a few mini donkeys, mini ponies and an older horse. He is very respectful of them.

Great in a stall. Currently lives out 24/7.

Not herd bound.

He is cow hocked.

He is UTD on shots, deworming and hoof trimming. He was fantastic for the vet and farrier. He has had two farrier visits and he stood so well.

*No he is not registered, nor do we know if he can be so please don’t ask.*

*NO he is not broke to ride or been lunged yet. He is 2 years old and arrived extremely underweight. Our main concern was putting weight on in a stress free environment and getting him gelded.*

Please feel free to PM any questions and let’s find this sweet boy his family. 🩵

ORIGINAL POST:
Today March 24 at 1:26pm we said goodbye to Gem as he crossed the rainbow bridge.

Unfortunately old age caught up to him. He was in a lot of pain, even with pain meds, and would have a hard time getting up if he laid down, we always had to assist him getting up. We had a long discussion with our vet what it would look like for him with “stronger” pain meds and him once he started to put weight on (more weight meant more weight to carry around on his tired and arthritic legs). Our biggest worry was having to make an emergency call if he went down and truly hurt himself and couldn’t get up. He was loved his whole life by one owner. We wanted to do right by him and his old owners and give him that dignified ending he deserves. In his last moments he put his head into our shoulder and gave the biggest sigh. It was like he knew what was coming and was saying “thank you”.

Gem is now pain free and is looking down on his brother Gulliver. We thought long and hard about allowing the boys to cross the rainbow bridge together since they came to us as a bonded pair. However looking at Gulliver, besides losing his brother he had no health concerns. We felt going forward he may have a few rough days at first but he would eventually make new friends and settle in. He has a tough attitude. Thankfully Gulliver is handling his brother being gone a lot better then we thought he would. He hasn’t looked for Gem yet and has settled right into the herd here with no issues (so far). He has been accepted in like he’s been here forever.

Losing a loved one is never easy but we feel Gulliver will be okay.

“Life is a balance of holding on and letting go”.

Rest In Peace Gem. You will never be forgotten. Someone Always Loves You (SALY).

❤️ If you would like to make a donation in Gem’s name he would be super thankful. Today will cost around $1100.
