Civil Hero, B. G., 16.1h and growing, 2004.

Saved from slaughter by the Friends of Twilight!

This big guy is like an overgrown puppy- he is very very quiet and sensible, and quite immature physically. He needs to fill out and grow. Unraced, clean and sound. Good mover, he will really be something a year from now!! Very sweet natured and unflappable.

Update:

When Hero came in he had a guttural pouch infection and made a little noise in his wind. We finally got the infection cleared up and he still makes a slight sound. We had him scoped and the vet said it was a minor paralysis (grade 1), and he should be fine for everything except the upper levels of eventing and should improve as he gets fit.

Adoption fee $2000

Hero was adopted by Lisa in MD. Lisa also adopted Monty from us (Fort Monmouth). He is doing so well and she was looking for another quiet young horse to bring along. She came to see Hero with trailer in tow and took him home. Thanks!!

Update August 2007:

Hi Bev and Ginny, What a great horse you guys rescued. So far nothing scares him and he gets better with every ride. He steers very well now and has a great work ethic. He is still so much like a baby when you handle him or our in the barn, the training at the track never took out the innocent and it is great.

My friend and boarder's husband was out today and I found him sitting in the stall with Hero while he was laying down for a long while. Hero was playing with his shoe laces and nibbling on his hands. He is so mature riding and being handled, but so young and interested in everything. What a nice combination.

He is jumping small xrails and verticals, he shows signs of being very talented and doesn't look at them at all. He reminds me of Monte in that way. He is doing great.

thanks again Lisa
