I’m twelve and it’s always been my dream to ride a draft horse their beautiful, and I know it will be a little while before I’ll be able to because I am not that big but, PLEASE, HELP!!!!!
strongest draft horse
I have a 9 y/o Percheron gelding and for the past few months he’s been at my neighbor’s house, because he has shelter there, but I think he’s afraid of the shelter. Every time I go over there and it’s raining/snowing, I try to take him under there with me, and he gets really jumpy and nervous. His previous owner abandoned him at a boarding facility and didn’t pay to have him fed/cared for, so the facility didn’t. Could that have to do with his fear of the shelter? It’s probably 12′wide x 12′deep x 7′tall. He’s around 17-18hh and still a little skinny looking. I want to be able to build him a barn/very large shelter by summer and I’m not sure where to start. I need help, because I don’t know how big is big enough and whether I should cement the floor then put mats and shavings, because my ferrier needs a place to trim that’s covered and level during the summer. Ahh I have so many questions and not enough room! Any experienced draft owners suggestions would be great! Thank you!!
He’s pretty good with the ferrier, gets a little impatitent, but she’s super patitent with him! I don’t think he’s too worried about shelter, it might just be me being worried, but I still want him to have the choice! My ferrier doesn’t need the level surface, but I would like her visit to be more accommodating. It’s kind of a courtesy thing for someone who does a job that’s not always easy…

Okay, so I MIGHT be adopting a draft horse soon who has CPL. This disease will not determine if I adopt him or not–if they let me he will be mine. Even if I cannot eventually ride him, I can give this rescue boy a good life. He deserves a good home.
Does anyone here know personally about CPL? I’ve been researching it and it seems that in dry, sunny Arizona it might recede.
I just need to know if you have personal experiences, or know something about it that I might not, or cannot find on the net.
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the site! No, I agree that horses in severe pain need to be put down. It is inhumane to keep a terminal horse alive just for the owner’s benefit. This gelding is in great shape…he just has a general distrust for humans. The CPL is not advanced at all, and he doesn’t see to notice that he has it.
