Temperament: Lots of get up and go.

Physical problems / health issues: "Smoothie"  suffered unimaginable neglect, and came to us with no soles on his front hooves. With lots of dedication, commitment, and nutritional supplementation,  he has healed amazingly. He may have some slight rotation of his right front coffin bone. He is currently sound at the walk and trot, and will be put under saddle in the next 3 months. Updated films will help to determine the extent of the rotation. 

Interaction with horses:

Interaction with people: He has a super personality, and is a lot of fun!

History: Smoothie suffered from neglect and was rehabilitated by the volunteers at VICCTRE and then transferred to Florida from the Virgin Islands to find him a new, loving home.

Training / abilities: Smoothie was ridden by all levels of riders on trails in the past. We believe he will be a wonderful athlete again in the ring, under saddle but probably not best to jump him much higher than 3'.
