I have an incredibly special horse I would love to find a home for Christmas for. He is a gigantic gentle giant. An oversized golden retriever that comes to his name always. He hasn’t had the best of luck suffering from a nasty ulcer leaving the track that we thought we had cleared twice. It came back with vengeance and we opted to remove his eye to insure he would be cleared of any future pain or issue.
Does make this make him harder to place? For sure. I don’t think it should though. My heart horse suffered a trailer accident at the same exact age and lost the vision in his left eye. He has successfully run to the intermediate level of eventing and is the bravest, kindest horse I’ve ever sat on.
Anyway, meet Osage. He’s an approximately 17.1 (maybe bigger) 4 year old gelding. He is kind as the day is long to handle, shoe, vet and ride. He wants to be your best friend. He’s lived with us for several months and is truly a barn favorite around here. He is gentle in turnout with all kinds of personalities. Currently turned out with my personal horse Zodi, that’s how much I trust him. He’s a huge mover with 3 lovely gaits. Very smart under saddle and learns quickly. Has adapted to being one eyed long before we took his eye. We had tried a matrix disc treatment that involved it being sewn shut 2 different times for 2 weeks each time. He is still the same sweet and trusting boy. He does have a cold, set splint on his right front, but otherwise excellent. I will be very negotiable to get him in the right home and I truly believe this is still a top prospect for someone. Originally priced in the very low 5s, he can now be under the right person’s Christmas tree for less than half. The key in that is the RIGHT person, not just the person with the cash. Please do not be offended if after we chat, I feel he isn’t quite the right choice for you. I will be extra overprotective of this horse and it will likely come off invasive 🤣.
Videos are of his first post track ride this summer.
