 Akila
Breed:
Arabian
Sex:
Gelding
DOB: 1990
Height:
14.3 hh
Color: Bay
Markings: Blaze, RF coronet band, LR sock
Location:
Hitchcock, TX
Adoption Fee: $100
Temperament:
Calm and gentle but
aloof.
Physical problems /
health issues:
Akila is blind in his
right eye but handles
the sight problem well.
He also has had his hip
broken at some point;
this causes him to short
step rather than limp.
He does not appear to be
in pain from it. He
also has scars of an
unknown origin on both
front ankles.
Interaction with horses:
He is in a large mixed
herd and does well. He
is not aggressive but
does not seem to be
picked on, either.
Interaction with people:
Akila tries to stay away
from people but if you
are persistent, he will
let you catch him and
then he is cooperative.
He thinks he has more
important things to do
with the other horses;
he would rather stay
with them. Akila would
benefit greatly in a
one-on-one situation in
a loving home that could
show him how fun people
can be.
History:
Surrendered in lieu of
seizure.
Training / abilities:
We are certain he has
been ridden in the past
but his hip problem
makes him unrideable
now. He can be led and
tied quite easily.
Experience level

this horse:

Special needs:
Akila’s adoptive home
needs to be aware of his
physical limitations.
Other comments:
Akila is gorgeous and
would benefit greatly in
a loving home situation
where he will get more
attention. He is sweet
with other horses and
would be a terrific
companion horse.
