(due to be gelded soon)
DOB: 1999
Height:
8.2 hh
Color: Silver
dapple with white mane
and tail
Markings:

Location:
Brenham, TX
Adoption Fee:
Temperament:
For an 8 yr old stud, he
seems pretty calm. He
enjoys attention,
doesn’t care too much
for treats, preferring
to gobble green grass.
He is a bit mischievous
and likes attention from
everyone, adults and
children.
Physical problems / health issues:
Flip is about 75 lbs
underweight, per the
vet. He’s currently
about 200 lbs. Other
than that, he is doing
well.
Interaction with horses:
Since he is a stud, he
is being kept separate
from the rest of the
herd. He frequently
calls to them and will
pace his fence in a
slightly agitated state.
That will pass within 30
days of his gelding.
Interaction with people:
So far, Flip has readily
accepted all humans from
adults to young
children. He seems more
interested in eating
than playing right now
but has not shown any
aggression towards
anyone. He gets along
well with the dogs and
cats also.
History: Unknown.
Training / abilities:
Flip behaves as if he
has been shown at
halter in the past. We
don't know what training
he may have had, but we
will assess that after
he's gelded.

this horse:
Novice, once he is
gelded.
Has this horse ever:

Special needs:
Needs additional
nutrition to gain
weight, needs to be
gelded. Should not be
turned out 24/7 on green
grass right away.
Other comments:
Per complete vet exam on
06/13/07; he is in good
health except for being
slightly underweight,
sound with no apparent
lameness issues, heart
and gut sounds are good,
eyes, ears, respiration,
circulation all good,
teeth need a light float
– this will be done when
gelded. His feet are in
good shape, and his
mane, tail and coat look
good.
