Slim
Grade Gelding
Born: 2007
Arrival: July 2024
15 hands
Halter trained and ground trained.
Slim was found abandoned, severely underweight and sore when he first arrived. After a few months, Slim gained an appropriate weight and began to move much more comfortably. He has some arthritis that doesn’t seem too painful, but it’s recommended he not be ridden.
Slim has a reserved and thoughtful personality. Some have even called him a curmudgeon - but he loves neck and back scratches once he warms up to a new person. He has rebuilt his topline through ground exercise. He stands very patiently for the farrier. Due to metabolic issues, he needs to be on a grass-hay-only diet.
