#245
Gray QH Gelding. Appx. 17 - 18 yrs. Appx. 16.2 hands. This
handsome boy has been a lesson horse. Unfortunately, he is very
sore in front and could not continue his job. His reward....a
feedlot. The reason for the soreness is not known. This is a
very sweet horse that really needs someone to care for him as
he has cared for his riders in the past.
Update
4/24/01- He is doing great, no I shouldn't start recondtioning
him until he has a couple of months to recoop from his year
of being over ridden. I am just dying to hop on him bareback
or something!! BUT I won't without the okay from his vet. If
they say not until next year then I wait until next year if
they say never than that's fine too. I don't think she will
have bad news for me though because he has been off of bute
and running around (like the stud he is) for over a week. The
shoer opened up his heels in the front and put bar shoes on
the rear then hopefully we can start going natural with his
feety peedy's. The vet AND shoer are in love with Clay and the
vet has even said if he ever needs a home she will take him
(he is NEVER leaving though).

6/9/01 - Clay is doing great, my filly April is in season
and Clay thinks he is still a young stud!! He is going really
good, he acts a little sore when he is on hard ground, but once
you get him in our sand arena WATCH OUT because he is 2 years
old again (in his mind). He runs, bucks, toots, and heards April
around. The vet says that he has really bonded to me, she was
out checking him over and she was holding him while I went to
give my daughter something and she said he didn't take his eyes
off of me. I love him, he is however my Mom's horse, but he
tends to like me a little better he still likes my Mom though.
The MSM is really helping his feet combinded with the shots
he gets. He is so pretty everyone that comes out is just in
awe with him. They walk right by my warmblood and go straight
to him!!

7/19/01 - Clay
has been sore, I think we are going to end up nerving him. We
have decided that he is retired. He deserves it. He is such
a loving horse. I love this horse so much I am so glad that
we have him in our lives. My son loves to be around him and
I trust him with my son who is 5. I wish he were going to be
my sons first riding horse, but it is okay that he is not. I
am just happy that he is teaching my son how to lead horses
and groom him. When people come out he says "Clay is MY
horse and nobody rides him."
Thank you for my wonderful horses.......
