16.3 he last worked 3/30/24 and retired with a right front, non-displaced lateral condylar fracture (fetlock). He is currently turned out with other geldings and doing well. He is currently on Equiox for support.
Surrogate is a very sweet gelding that will melt your heart upon first meeting. He is very kind and willing. He walks nicely on a lead rope and respects his handlers. He loves to be groomed, especially on the neck, and appreciates a nice hug. Surrogate would make a nice family/companion horse to a family who would like a horse to love on and ride. He is kind to everyone and allows anyone to work with him.
Under saddle, he has a big trot but he isn’t fast. He is well behaved and does what is asked of him. He has a soft mouth and responds well to leg pressure. Surrogate would make a nice family trail horse. He will also make a great husband horse as he is tall and strong. He was calm on a lone farm hack on a colder day and seems to enjoy experiencing the outdoors under saddle.
He is quiet in his stall and doesn’t bother his neighbors.
Surrogate stands well for the vet and farrier.
