King Adam, Dk. b. g., 2001, 17.0h.

Susie of HI made my rescue possible!

This BIG boy needs some TLC. He rode well at the sale in a western saddle and then stood tied up for hours by the cows with the saddle still on. He is thin and has some rain rot--- but he has all the ingredients for a nice sport horse- size, substance, bone, and a good mind. Good mover, clean legs, no vices.

Adoption fee $2500-

Update:

King Adam also found a home. Cris from PA was looking for a young horse for some local showing and dressage. She rides with Robin, friend and trainer of Monica and Favorite Guy (Giles.) She came to see King Adam and was quite impressed with his size and gentleness, and took him home! She reports he is doing well, just settling in and enjoying lots of baths to get rid of his rain rot.

Update December 2007:

Just wanted to let you know King Adam is doing absolutely terrific.  
He has been in training for the past 3 months and has come a long way.  He is extremely smart and very lovable.  He always aims to please.

Talk to you soon!

Update May 2008:

Hi,  hope all is well at the farm.  Just wanted to send an update on King Adam. 
He has been in training for the past 4 months.  We went to our first show last Saturday and he was an absolute champ!  He was unbelievable at the show.  Nothing spooked him.  It was an indoor arena with both ends open, lots of horses and people watching.  He acted like he was home on the farm.  He placed 4th in his two walk/trot classes (still getting used to keeping his head down when trotting).  My youngest daughter even rode him in an unattached lead line class and they placed 5th.  He has become an all around family horse and loves just hanging out.  We have attached some pictures.  Even though we placed 4th and 5th, he was a Grand Champion in our book since he was just perfect for his first trip off the farm.  He has also learned to be a trail horse, he has mastered walking over tarps, bridges, creeks and has learned how to open and close gates. I think he enjoys going out on the trails.

Suave Devil is also doing well.  We have had the vet take x-rays again and the left front leg is still pretty puffed up.  The vet and a surgeon reviewed his x-rays and stated that his left sesamoid bone is basically deteriorating to nothing.  Even with his legs being so bad, he is hardly ever limping and is doing excellent with his new life of just being a friend.  He is really a sweet boy and he has become attached to my 4 year old daughter who makes sure he gets treats everyday.  He looks for her each time we are in the barn.
 
Take care!
