Thoroughbred - Wilson - Large - Adult - Male - Horse
Wilson Past Wilson a 16 year old thoroughbred gelding, was seized by the local Sheriffs department and transported to the Circle P Sanctuary, a non-profit horse rescue specializing in abuse and neglect cases in Ohio, on June 5th, xxxx. Wilson has a tattoo on the inside of his upper lip which typically signifies he had raced professionally. When we tracked the number, we discovered he had raced from xxxx to xxxx, with 82 starts and earned $65,000 in winnings. He went from his profitable career on the track to being purchased at a garage sale by a couple that had no idea how to take care of these types of animals. Upon arrival at the Circle P, Wilson was extremely emaciated and given a body condition score of 1 by The Ohio State University's equine veterinary team (9 being extremely obese and 1 being completely emaciated). He was thoroughly covered in a skin fungus and had lost most of his hair. Lynne, co-owner and operator, had to use a flea comb and over days gently remove the remaining fungus from his skeletal frame. The farrier has also noted that he seems to have fused phalanx bone on both front legs. On October 9th, xxxx, after four months of nutritional rehabilitation, Wilson was healthy once more and moved over to our Equine Center to begin work to condition his now full figured body. Wilson Present He gets to roam free in green pastures with many horsey siblings and live his life stress free and at ease. He no longer has to worry about when or where his next meal is coming from and human hands now offer a comforting pat or encouraging scratch, not harm. Wilson is pretty well behaved on the ground, but may try to rub his head on you. He is still working on becoming excellent at lunging, but has overcome issues with changing directions. He can walk and trot on the lunge line and under saddle, and is very light and responsive with leg and neck cues. He can be ridden English or Western. He can be ridden lightly, but because of his fused ankle bones, may not be able to canter comfortably or be ridden on super long trail rides. Wilson Future Wilson tends to fall to the bottom of the herd hierarchy and would do well in a smaller herd however he does submit to bossier horses so larger herds may not be too much of an issue with him. He can be ridden lightly, but because of his fused ankle bones, may not be able to canter comfortably or be ridden on super long trail rides. He would do well as a pasture pal or short duration pleasure riding companion!
