My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tall, dark, and handsome, this gelding OTTB is looking for his forever home. Ray quickly became a ranch favorite with his personable demeanor and complete disregard for where his tongue is (spoiler alert, it`s usually hanging out of his mouth!). He came to us as an owner surrender who had used him as a trail horse. We discovered Ray had a painful progressive dental condition called EOTRH and needed his incisors removed. He can still eat hay and grain, as EOTRH doesn’t affect molars. He has the typical `jewelry` of a 25 year old OTTB, including osselets on his front fetlocks and age appropriate arthritis. The kicker is that Ray hasn`t kept track of the years and is living as his former 8 year old self. Ray loves attention but gets along with everyone he meets. He`s an energetic guy who will likely need a confident intermediate rider. He would also be happy as a pasture pet. Ray does have Cushings and gobbles up his Prascend tab with his morning grain mash. Who wouldn`t enjoy having this comedic silver fox in their backyard?
