 Casey
Breed: Paint
Sex: Gelding
DOB: 2002
Height:
12.2 hh
Color: Palomino &
White
Markings:
Location:
Scurry, TX
Adoption Fee:
$ 350.00
Temperament:
Casey is a very sweet
boy who was initially
thought to be a young,
growing boy, but now
know he is an adult,
probably around 6 or 7.
He is about 12’2” which
probably qualifies him
as a pony.
Physical problems /
health issues:
Casey was recently
gelded (3/23/09) and is
recovering from that.
He is picking up weight
and appears to have no
other health concerns.
Interaction with horses:
Casey is a friendly,
compliant horse that
seems to get along with
everyone including a
more dominant horse.
Having recently been
gelded, he may need to
be kept away from mares
(especially mares in
heat) until he figures
out he’s a gelding.
Interaction with people:
Casey loves to be
petted and scratched.
He is not pushy and
leads well.
History: Casey
was relinquished to
Animal Control in
Greenville, TX.
Training / abilities:
Casey is a bit of an
unknown as far as
training goes, but my
guess is that he is not
broke to ride. He is a
compliant horse and will
probably take well to
training. I’ll know
more about him in the
upcoming weeks.
Experience level
required to work with
this horse: For
a pasture ornament,
Casey would probably do
well with someone who
has a little experience
with horses. For a
riding companion, he
will need someone who
has started horses and
can train Casey under
saddle. Due to his
small size, a smaller
framed adult would be
ideal for him.
Has this horse ever:
Bucked? No Reared? No
Kicked?
No Bitten?
No Other?
Ground handling:
Catch? Yes
Lead? Yes Tie?
unknown Trailer?
Did fine in a two horse
straight load trailer
after a little bit of
convincing. Clip?
Unknown Trim Feet?
Unknown Bathe?
Unknown
Special needs:
None known.
Other comments:
Casey is a very sweet
boy who will be
especially striking when
he sheds out and puts
some weight on. That
won’t take very long as
he has already started
putting the pounds on
and, after several days
of worming, has started
really shedding. I will
update Casey’s bio as I
get to know him a little
better. I will start
working on picking up
his feet and will get
those trimmed as soon as
he’s ready for that.
