Salem's Story

CURRENT RIDER LEVEL: Beginner (light riding only)<br/><br/>Salem is a 2010 Tennessee Walking Horse gelding who stands at 15.1 hands tall and weighs 1,025 lbs. <br/>Salem is a docile gelding who wont hold his own when turned out with dominate horses. He needs to be pastured with other quiet mares and geldings and he is currently doing very well with our senior herd. Salem is the gentle "in your pocket" gelding everyone is looking for. He is very quiet on the ground. He will walk up to you for attention and treats and he will happily stand quietly for grooming. We were told Salem has previously sustained an injury to his back left leg. He does have a gait abnormality and a "hop" to his step. We believe this doesn't cause him any pain, but it does limit his range of motion. Salem also has overall poor conformation, making his ability to be ridden limited to a walk or slow gait. On the ground Salem isn't spooky at all, he doesn't mind loud noises, the big ball, tarp or people jumping around him, making him an excellent candidate to potently become a therapy horse. Under saddle Salem quiet both in our arena and when ridden around the farm. He would be ok with a beginner who just wants to plod around the farm or a family who wants a safe horse for their kids to love on. Salem is gentle but he is also sensitive to leg pressure and does much better when being ridden with legs off. Salem is a silly and affectionate guy who needs a home that is willing to overlook his awkwardness and appreciate his gentle nature. <br/><br/>To get approved, please complete a lifetime lease application and email it to info@wyhumane.org <br/>Include with your completed application, pictures of your property including your barn, stall, or run-in shed, pasture, water source, and fencing both close up and a corner picture. <br/><br/>Links to the application and our policies.
