Western Toro is an off the track Standardbred gelding who raced for 9 seasons before retiring to a pleasure driving home. When that owner had some life changes, Toro joined Safe Harbor.
Toro is a gentle giant who has taken right to riding. That said, he is big and green under saddle, and so is best suited to a more experienced rider or one working with a trainer. Toro could also thrive in a pleasure driving home, however he does "look" at things when driving outdoors and would likewise need a more experienced, confident driver.
Toro would fit in best in an all-gelding herd. He's UTD on vet, farrier, and deworming, and he's got great barefoot feet. PPEs are welcome for approved, interested adopters.
