Sisterdale, TX
Adoption Fee:

Temperament:
Very sweet. Calm.
Physical problems /
health issues:
At the time of surrender
he had a large tumor on
his right front leg at
the fetlock. When this
tumor was removed, it
weighed 1 pound. The
tumor site has an open
wound remaining that is
being treated. It is
slowly closing up and
healing. The healing of
the wound has allowed
for more turn out time.
During this turn out
time, it appears as
though he is
overreaching from his
hind feet up to his
front feet. This may
have been what caused
the original injury. He
is currently being
evaluated to determine
whether or not bell
boots would help.
Tawodi came to us
severely underweight.
He is currently still
underweight, but making
wonderful progress on
getting healthy.
Interaction with horses:
Seems to be happy with
assuming a non-leader
status. He has
interacted well with the
rest of the herd during
his stay. He has been
turned out with
youngsters as well as
older horses with health
issues. He gets along
well with all.
Interaction with people:
Tawodi has had to stand
for numerous wound
cleansings and
dressings. He has
always stood very
calmly. He enjoys being
groomed.
History:
Surrender in lieu of
seizure.
Training / abilities:
Tawodi has not entered
training yet. The tumor
and wound site prevented
asking him to move a
great deal. As soon as
he has clearance from
the veterinarian, we
will begin ground
training.

at the trot and canter.
