Jasper
Description
Jasper is a beautiful 12 year old 15.1hh American Paint x spotted gelding standing at 15.1hh. He is a really genuine boy who thrives on being worked daily if at all because he is showing signs of having pssm1 which means he needs consistent work to stay in work otherwise he can do groundwork such as Parelli or inhand walks.
Problems
When he shows symptoms of PSSM he will refuse to move forwards, his skin will twitch around his girth area and he will look at his girth area. He has been known to do small bucks when moving forwards. He shows no signs at all on the ground and is 100% to handle and do ground work. He has been known to have separation anxiety with a pair bond but it is important he has friends and I will only rehome him to a home where he will live out on good grazing with friends. He has been barefoot his whole life and should stay that way.
Health Issues
He is unvaccinated but wormed and trimmed. He likely has PSSM 1 as his sire
Ideal Home
Jasper would live out with one or more quiet geldings on good grazing with a field shelter. He gets a cough with hay and gets possessive with mares. I will only rehome him to a home where he will live out on good grazing with friends. Jasper can be handled by children and would be great as a therapy horse inhand. He has been barefoot his whole life and should stay that way. The right home will really appreciate his gentle and loyal temperament. A home as a therapy horse would be ideal and he's very patient, gentle and loving.
