Valor's Story
2006 16.1HH Dark Bay Thoroughbred Gelding<br/><br/>Valor is a lovable and affectionate gelding with a heart as big as his personality. He came to us in January 2025 through an animal control case. Upon arrival, Valor underwent surgery to remove a dermal sarcoma from his nose, and we’re happy to share that he’s made a full recovery! <br/><br/>Despite his past neglect, this retired racehorse—once known on the track as Sleepless Knight—has nothing but love to give and is ready for a fresh start. Valor is the definition of an “in your pocket” gelding who thrives on attention and connection. He is fun to work with on the ground, enjoys lunging, and shows curiosity and enthusiasm when introduced to obstacles. <br/><br/>Valor is currently on 8 pounds of McCauley’s Alam daily, along with a joint supplement and 1 Equioxx tablet. He is very sensitive to sugar and does best during the warmer months with a structured turnout schedule: off grass for 16 hours each day and wearing a grazing muzzle for the remaining time. Due to limited access to grass in the past, he is prone to laminitis. Valor also has a narrowing joint space in his left hock and receives annual injections to help keep him pasture sound. He is doing very well with this management plan.<br/><br/>Valor was castrated at age 19 upon his arrival, so he needs to be in a gelding-only field and ideally not turned out directly beside mares. He gets along well with his gelding companions and enjoys their company.<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $900<br/><br/>Apply today at: https://form.jotform.com/231711475494156
