 You're
The Mon aka Freddie
Breed:
Thoroughbred
Registered?:
Sex:
Gelding
DOB:
2004
Height:
16.3 hh
Color: Grey Roan
Markings:
Black points
Location:
Middleburg, FL
Adoption Fee:
$500
Temperament:
Fred is a sweet horse
with a mischievous side
to him. A typical young
TB, he is full of
energy.
Interaction with horses:
Fred is very
playful. He is always
trying to get someone to
play with him but
settles for his jolly
ball. He is not a
submissive horse so he
does challenge the
pecking order all the
time.
Interaction with people:
Coming off the track
Fred had a complete lack
of manners. We have
been working on this and
he is starting to learn
boundaries and manners.
He has a great
personality and really
wants to please you once
he figures out what is
being asked of him.
History:
Fred had an injury
that ended his racing
career. His owners
wanted to make sure that
he never ended up in a
bad home or the
slaughterhouse so they
donated him to HFH to
give him a great future.
Training / abilities:
Fred has only been
trained for racing. He
will need to be started
from scratch for his new
job but he is very
intelligent. He is a
beautiful mover and very
agile. I believe he
would do very well as an
Eventing horse or
jumper. With his
movement he would do
well in dressage also.
Physical problems /
health issues:
Fred had a bony growth
on his pastern that was
rubbing his suspensory
ligament. He was
prescribed a 1 year
layoff by the vet (which
ends in March), and an
end to his racing
career. The vet’s
prognosis is no
restrictions other than
racing.
Experience level
required to work with
this horse:
Experienced.
Preferably experience
with OTT TB’s.
Has this horse ever:
Bucked?
Reared? Kicked?
Bitten? Other?
Fred does bite, but
has gotten much better
now that we have been
working on his manners.
It was more of a game to
him than anything else.
He just needs to have
his energy channeled
into something
productive.
Ground handling:
Catch? Yes Lead?
Yes Tie? Yes
Trailer? Yes Clip?
Trim Feet? Yes Bathe?
Yes
Special needs:
Lots of attention and
a new job!
