Breed: Draft X
Height: 15.1hh
Age: 15-20 y/o
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Bay

Health: Likely Cushings, Appears Healthy Otherwise
Lameness: Currently Sound but you will need to watch his weight to make sure he does not founder, he had horrible feet when he arrived so we are trimming him every 4 weeks

Vices: None
Personality: Friendly. Easy to Catch, Lead, Groom, Tie, Trailer, etc. Good with Other Horses, Ponies & Donkeys.

History/Training: Unknown, Purchased From an Auction, He was Slaughterbound, Broke to Ride, Might be broke to harness as well. He was adopted a couple of months ago but he bucked her off while on a trail ride so he was promptly returned to HCW. We are not sure why he bucked, they had many successful rides before that one, perhaps something in his past haunted him, perhaps he was stung by a bee, who knows, this is when we wish they could talk. We rode him many times while he was here at HCW and never had any incidents what so ever.

Future/Suitability: Light pleasure riding & trails with an experienced rider that can handle a bucking horse incase the event above every happens again, Companion/Pet

Heaven Can Wait Equine Rescue - Heaven Can Wait Equine Rescue is located in Cameron, Ontario, Canada - approx 1.5 hours NE of Toronto, just 10 minutes North of Lindsay. This Equine Rescue was started by Claire Malcolm in 1997 to help save horses and ponies from slaughter, and take in any unwanted horse or pony and find them a new, loving home. Not all Horses at HCW are old and lame, or come from abusive/neglective situations, some come from private individuals who want to find a good home for their horse, but don't have the time or knowledge to sell it privately, but don't want to send it to an auction, so they send them here to HCW to find a good home. As you know horses that end up at auctions do have a chance to get bid on by a caring family home, but they also risk the chance of being bid on by a bad home or worse, the meat man. HCW has found loving new homes for over 700+ equines in the past 12 years (& has even helped find new homes for a few donkeys, pigs, goats, cats & dogs along the way!).
