Fairy Tale Farm has partnered with the Toledo Humane Society. I will be training Fortunate Son, aka "Spender" for the next thirty days. We are hoping to help Spender get started under saddle so that he can be placed into his forever home....below is a biography for Spender. The above pictures are of his condition when he was found. He looks much better now and is all ready for training! Please stop by and visit him at the barn.
Hi! I'm Fortunate Son, I am a 2 year old Quarter Horse/Appaloosa gelding. My story is a sad one but thanks to the Toledo Area Humane Society, it will have a happy ending. I was left to die in the hot sun this past summer. I had a severe leg injury and became very sick because of it. My former owners did not know how to feed a horse properly and because of that, I was grossly underweight, practically a skeleton. The nice cruelty officers and some of the humane society staff came to my rescue just in the knick of time. I had to be lifted into a horse trailer by several men because I was too weak to stand or walk. I was then rushed to a large animal vet, where they attended to me immediately. They did not know if I would make it through the night. Well, I did! Much to everyone's amazement! After spending a couple months in the hospital, I went to my foster home and I have been there ever since. Now it is time for me to go to my forever home.
I have been gelded and am up to date on vaccines. I have been vet-checked and Coggins tested negative.
I am sound and will be able to be ridden. Because of my rocky start to life I have not been trained yet. Thanks to my foster mom, I am halter broke but will need further training.
I am a very special boy and deserve an amazing home.
