Say hello to Blue! Little is known about this lovely gelding, but his manners tell us he has been handled quite a bit. He readily loads in a trailer, accepts grooming and fly-spraying with no issue, and vetting and trimming is a breeze for him. Other than that, he is a mystery. 

On May 19, 2015, we were phoned by a man in Murchison, Texas. The caller reported that a neighbor's gelding had been neglected for about year. The horse was left to his own devices to pick around the scrub in the pasture. The neighbors had moved off and abandoned the horse. 

That very day, we went to investigate the situation. At first sight, it was clear that Blue was gentle and friendly and that he was not in a good situation. Due to his condition and that of the property where he was living, we felt compelled to get the trailer and remove him to the Pegasus ranch immediately. 

We contacted the owner who relinquished the horse to Pegasus.

After a thorough exam, vaccines, and adequate quarantine, we turned Blue in with two mares. He has been a perfect gentleman, and we expect he will prove to be a very nice horse.

On his fifth day with us, Don put a ride on Blue. After some initial protest bucking under saddle, Blue settled down, and Don rode him on a short trail ride around the ranch. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will get a better idea of the status of his training. Blue appears to be about 14 years old, but we shall confirm his age when the dentist comes this month.
