Temperament: Journey is super sweet and very well trained. He has very large legs!   We were told by the Sheriff that this horse used to be a working cow horse.  When he gains about 300 pounds he will be massive!

Physical problems / health issues: He is malnourished. He appears sound, and trots in the pasture. His teeth are bad from his jaw being locked shut with the halter, but he can eat fine now. He's on the senior feeding program; he's up to 1 pound of grain every four hours around the clock, with about a pound of alfalfa at the same time. He gets probiotics in it and aloe vera juice (we find that keeps them from getting diarrhea at all when they start on even a small amount of grain).  He's also even able to eat some coastal now!  He also loves Cheerios as a treat.

Interaction with horses: Journey loves other horses.

Interaction with people: He is extremely sociable, very friendly. Tons of personality!

History: Donation in lieu of seizure. His halter had grown into his head, and he couldn't open his mouth to eat. His owner never noticed.

Training / abilities: Reported to have been a working cow horse. Once he is healthy we will assess him further.

Experience level required to work with this horse: Absolute beginner on the ground, unknown under saddle for now.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked?  Reared?  Kicked?  Bitten?  Other?  

Ground handling: Catch? Yes. Lead? Yes. Tie? Yes. Trailer? Yes. Clip? Yes. Trim Feet?  Bathe?
