FOSTER OR ADOPTIVE HOME NEEDED: Meet GIZMO!
Gizmo, an owner surrender who came to us in October, is looking for a long-term foster or adoptive home.
He's been at Black Dog Stables with Sarah for his intake evaluations and vetting. He received a clean bill of health, had his teeth floated, us UTD on vaccines, and will get his feet trimmed later this week – so he’s ready to find a place of his own.
Gizmo is a bay gelding in his late twenties, and he's winning everyone over at BDS with his sweetness, his s***k, and the little bit of tongue that always sticks out the corner of his mouth!
He’s got a bit of a swayback and definitely needs to put on some weight - which shouldn’t be a problem now that he’s eating soaked senior feed that is easier for him to chew and digest.
Gizmo is totally sound, and we were told that he's a lot of fun to ride, but we are advertising and placing him currently as a companion because he's not at a healthy enough weight for a test ride. At a healthy weight and with a properly fitting saddle, this guy could potentially be suitable for light riding.
Gizmo LOVES turnout, and has actually been living in a paddock with a run-in. He stalls just fine and we bring him in to eat, but he LOVES being out! His current pasture mate is a mare, but he is really easy going in the field and could likely get along with anyone.
We’d LOVE to find Gizmo a forever home, and are open to a long-term foster situation where Flying Changes would help with the costs of his care if needed.
If you are interested in talking to us about this sweet old guy, we’d love to hear from you.
And as always, your COMMENTS and SHARES help our horses find their homes!
