Location:
Winnsboro, TX
Adoption Fee:
$250
Temperament: Very
sweet easy going horse.
Physical problems /
health issues:
Esophagus has old damage
with scar tissue which
causes him to choke
easily due to the
narrowing of the
esophagus before it
reaches his stomach.
Interaction with
horses: Essay gets
along with a mixed herd.
Interaction with
people: He is very
nice to people but not a
lovey-dovey horse. He is
just enjoying being able
to eat and comes running
at feeding time!
History: Donated
in lieu of seizure after
owner could not properly
care for him. He came in
very malnourished and
after several trips to
the vet for choking, it
was found that he
suffers from scar tissue
which prevented him from
eating like a normal
horse. He has had a
rough life and deserves
that someone special to
care for him.
Training / abilities:
Is broke to ride but
suggested only light
riding due to esophaus
issues. I don't think he
could handle hard
riding.

Soaked Senior Complete

alfalfa. He does get a

Other comments:
Essay needs a very
special loving home who
can take 10 to 15
minutes a day at feeding
times to soak his feed.
He can only eat soft
green grass including
winter pasture during
winter time. It has
taken us a while to find
the right combination to
his feed and he MUST
stay on that
combination. He went so
long unable to eat like
a regular horse that now
he loves his soggy feed
and green grass. He has
truly been my diamond in
the rough!
