My story

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

ADOPT ME - HORATIO - 15h - APPALOOSA x SADDLEBRED - 22yo - GELDING - TRAIL & DRESSAGE - BEGINNER FRIENDLY

Greeneville, TN - transport available

✅ Trail master
✅ Former dressage training
✅ Willing, Crosses rivers, mud, logs, etc
✅ Leads, follows or middle
✅ Stands to mount and stands tied
✅ Hackamore / Bitless
✅ Barefoot - front boots (or shoes) for trails
✅ Prefers a slow gait (more whoa than go)
✅ Respectful of fences

Horatio’s owner surrendered him as she has retired from riding due to health issues (75 years old). “Sho” is one of those horses that you put visitors on and head down the trail - or you enjoy yourself for an easy-going ride. He’s been trail ridden all over TN, NC, VA and KY. He rides bitless/in a Hackamore and in front boots. He’s a sweet boy who’s food motivated 😉. He’s been stalled and pasture boarded - no issues either way. Lower in the herd.
He has slowly lost the vision in his left eye over the last year, but the only noticeable effect has been that he turns a little wider to the left so that he can look with his right eye instead. Otherwise you wouldn’t know that he was blind in 1 eye at all!

Multiple people have ridden Sho and can vouch for his soundness and good trail nature.

More about this rescue

Our Mission is to provide resources and a safe landing for animals in need; while through advocacy and access to animal care services, striving to improve the care and well-being of animals in our community.

WTFarm Inc. is a 501c3 in progress organization in Greeneville, TN. While our focus is primarily equines (horses, mules and donkeys), we have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed various other animals such as dogs, cats, goats and more. Our board is made up of animal lovers, and former WTFarm Adopters. We actively work with other rescues to collaboratively assist animals in need, and the people who love them.
