Devonaire
#286
Dk. Bay Running QH Gelding. Strip. Appx. 6-8 yrs. old. Appx.
16 - 16.1 hands. Tatto. This gorgeous guy has a pulled tendon
in his right foreleg. The tendon is not bowed, but he needs
a 5-6 month layup in order to heal properly. He rides hot and
would require an experienced rider.
Update
11/28/01 - He is doing great, the vet ultra sounded his
leg and says nothing is wrong with it. He is owned and loved
by janet and she has taken him home for the winter for long
trail rides and tons of love. She calls Devon the "love
of her life." He has a little paint buddy named Pie and
they get along great. We took Devon to a show over the summer
and he placed well (and first and a couple of seconds). He knew
what to do. He will never be jumped high again!! The vet was
floored when we told him that Devon had jumped 5' in the past
(per lot owner). He is way too little to jump that high and
the vet said that he must have jumped with all heart. Who ever
owned Devon before did love him and it shows because he is a
very loving confident horse and he knows he is beautiful!! Devon
did get strangles when we first bought him from the feed lot,
but he has been over that for months. Strangles is a scary thing
when you don't know what it is, but it was a good experience
for both of us he bonded with us and we can know deal with strangles.
