They both love people, and get along well with other horses, dogs, goats, sheep, cows, etc. Excellent loving homes a must. Please make an offer.

This beauty is still looking for his new forever home. Ranger is a sweet 12 year old Gelding all black, we believe he is a mix between Tennessee Walker, Friesian, Morgan, and Thoroughbred is our best guess. He is very proud with head always held high but very respectful and listens. He is well trained and knows his job as a reliable trail riding horse and also does well in the arena. Anyone can ride him, including kids. He is good for the farrier, trailers great and is an all around good horse with experienced horse people. He can be a little overly friendly / pushy with beginners on the ground. He is barefoot with big sound feet. check out more photos and info. on our website at www.fahnestockranch.com

Ranger was transported back to the ranch today! He just had to show off his hospital scars! We are so happy to have him back from the hospital and his surgery behind us. He has handled the entire ordeal extremely well and is feeling much better already. While he is recovering and on stall rest for the next 10 days volunteers will be administering his pain medication and taking him on short walks. Ranger will be available for adoption to his forever home shortly. If anyone is looking for a gentle riding horse please consider coming out to see this beautiful guy. Thanks to everyone who has supported him through this chapter of his life, he is forever grateful. If you are considering donating towards his hospital fees please do so as every dollar makes a difference. https://www.gofundme.com/rescue-horse-needs-surgery
