Poco was a trail horse at a B&B in the Texas Hill Country, but arthritis made it hard for him to handle the rocky, steep trails.
Poco was given to someone who had never had a horse before and ended up in sad shape on an unsafe property right on Hwy 281. “Uncle Frank” on our board of directors saw a posting on Facebook. “Aunt Amy” (also on the board) and I went to see him and we loved him. He followed us around like a puppy - a VERY large puppy. He came home and began filling out with quality grain, supplements, hay and green grass. He has allergies and had lost patches of hair. He’s now on Platinum Performance Allergy and has a beautiful coat and no itching. We’ve had x-rays done of his feet, and he has some rotation and the bones aren’t quite right, so he’s mostly retired with some easy grass riding. He has special shoes and boots, and gets Bute on a regular basis. He’s the largest of the geldings, but the most easy-going. He is the worst beggar and will give you a good nudge if you don’t hand-out quick enough. He has the most fantastic trot and lope.
Poco is partially sponsored. We would love to have someone help sponsor Poco.
