Very handsome sorrel
with a white blaze and
white socks on his hind
legs.
Physical problems / health issues:
He arrived approximately
150 pounds underweight,
but his weight is now
normal. He has been
diagnosed with
"navicular syndrome",
and currently we have
him shod on the forefeet
in custom forged
rollover shoes at the
recommendation of Dr.
Jenkins. Although the
shoes are helping Joey
lengthen his stride and
walk without as much
difficulty, he is still
experiencing some
lameness in the left
foreleg.
Interaction with horses: Gets along well with others.
Interaction with people: Easy
to approach and handle.
History:
His owner had purchased
him at an auction in
Kirbyville, where,
otherwise, he would have
been sold for slaughter.
The City of Dickinson
objected to his owner
keeping him in his
backyard, so his owner
donated Joey.
