Beau Horse Quarterhorse Ashland, VA

Beau is a handsome and spirited gelding that came to VEWS due to the sudden loss of his owner. His previous owner had found him at an auction a few years prior to her passing, so he has been bounced around a little bit. He has a curious and cautious nature. He has just come
back from training and will do well with an experienced rider who can make the commitment to
build a bond of trust and respect to help him stay confident in all situations.
Beau is now available for visits from potential adopters.
