Blackie

Blackie was delivered to the Sanctuary on January 18, 2024, from his owners who were using him as a roping horse. Blackie was purchased by them from an owner in Houston, but upon arrival showed an injury that flared up and seemed to be an old one. Sonograms confirmed an injured flexor tendon and much scar tissue. Blackie was rehabbed only a short amount of time before he was exercised and the injury flared again, leaving him unable to show. 

Blackie is a beautiful, athletic gelding born in 2015. With proper management his soreness should subside, and he will be able to live a long and happy life. He is calm and seems to get along well with other horses. 

What a gorgeous and sweet natured boy that otherwise would have been euthanized! Welcome, Blackie, to your forever home..
