In the shelter’s words

Tall, dark, and handsome, this gelding OTTB is looking for his forever home. Ray quickly became a ranch favorite with his personable demeanor and complete disregard for where his tongue is (spoiler alert, it's usually hanging out of his mouth!). He came to us as an owner surrender who had used him as a trail horse. We discovered Ray had a painful progressive dental condition called EOTRH and needed his incisors removed. He can still eat hay and grain, as EOTRH doesn’t affect molars. He has the typical 'jewelry' of a 25-year-old OTTB, including osselets on his front fetlocks and age-appropriate arthritis. The kicker is that Ray hasn't kept track of the years and is living as his former 8-year-old self. Ray loves attention but gets along with everyone he meets. He's an energetic guy who will need a confident intermediate rider. Although Ray thinks he can still win the race, he needs a rider who will understand his limitations and keep him in low gear. Only light riding strolls in this fellow's future. He would also be happy as a pasture pet. Ray does have Cushing’s Disease and gobbles up his Prascend tab with his morning grain mash. Who wouldn't enjoy having this comedic silver fox in their backyard?Height: 16.2Maximum Carrying Weight (tack plus rider): 210 lbsAdoption fee: $600
