Hi all
I am looking for information on a horse I own. Here is everything I know about him:
-
16.2-16.3ish bay gelding, no leg markings, small white star
-
Fine-boned but put together like a dressage-bred warmblood (very uphill, large, deep shoulder, high-set neck), so maybe TB/WB cross
-
Recessed (sunken) left eye
-
Scarring around front of right hind hock area
-
Atrophied left shoulder with slightly clubbed left front
-
Moves like a dressage-bred horse (VERY lofty, flashy gaits)
-
Appears that he may have had some dressage training but no over-fences education
-
Found at Ontario auction in California on 12/8/2015, extremely neglected and underweight
Originally we thought he was in the early teens (11-14) range but it is a little difficult to judge his age based on his teeth as he is a cribber. Then a different vet noticed something about his transversal ridges that made him think the horse was more likely in the 7-10 age range.
This guy is so special, I really really really want to know his story, and how on earth he ended up where he did, in the state he was in.
Any possible leads on him or tips on where else I can ask for help would be very much appreciated
