My story

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

Ace is a 10 year old Quarter horse. Came to us in January from the Sunnyside feedlot. Destined for the slaughter truck. He was said to be a dude ranch horse. He is about 15hh tall and stocky build. Ace is a great guy, very friendly and loving to people. Doesn't spook and leads great. Although, he is a bit stubborn, likes to go at his own slow pace when ridden. Never bucks, never bites. Stands for farrier. He is herd bound and likes to be top dog. With our herd of 9, he must be separated as he thinks he is a stallion and will constantly chase the other geldings away. That is his only downfall. We currently keep him with one mare and he does great. Ace also has a history of "escaping" non-electric fences. If you have a hot wire, he is good. Otherwise, he may wander. Ace would thrive in a home with anyone from children to adults who want to mosey around on a nice looking horse. He has no known health issues, only that of one hoof that has a bit of thrush. His feet are like rocks and he has never shown any signs of lameness. He is also a very easy keeper. He is UTD on all vaccines and de-worming. We have a bunch of pictures and even some recent video of him. We will add more as we get it. If you are interested in Ace and want to come check him out, ride him, pet him or whatever, please do not hesitate to call or message us. We are asking $500 adoption fee for him and that would require a contract along with an initial trial period of 30 days, so that you can determine that he would be the right fit for your family.
**Please note that Ace has been with horses early this year that had the Strangles virus. All horses have been treated and released by the veterinarian. There has been no signs of strangles with any of the horses since May 2014. Our farm has undergone complete quarantine and disinfection. And, All horses were properly quarantined as per the veterinarian recommendations. Strangles vaccinations will also be given this fall following guidelines given to use by our veterinarian. We recommend that you quarantine any new horse for 30 days, whether from our farm or your neighbors.
