Location: MD | NOT MY HORSE
We have a new boarder here that purchased a 2 year old gelding OTTB. I noticed this morning when he was going potty, he camped out square except the left hind he had it kind of cocked like he didn't want to put much weight on it. He resumed his silly normal 2 year old behavior, running around while other horses were getting let in and cows being run by him....
I'm not over analyzing but when he's moving around the pasture he looks sound, I'm not touching him until he's been here for two weeks since I don't want to get my own sick. I've just met the girl so I don't really know her experience with horses, but she seemed to handle this new boy fine, I'm asking for my own personal curiosity. |

he seems like a really cool dude, not what I expected at all. after his entire life not seeing anything but a barn, a track, and pastures with horses he handled everything so well. Cows, Sheep, peacocks etc! I will be excited to see what he's like in 6 months-1 year! |
