Hammer 1000 - Male PaintPinto

Hammer is ready for adoption You can watch this video to get to know him better -XX -.--X.- watch v YqUY2MfYX4YHe s smart willing level headed and has a great personality Hammer rides English or Western in the arena or outside the arena. He s current on vaccines Coggins hoof care and vet checked. Hammer is a Paint whose former owner says was eligible for registration but they had misplaced the paperwork. He s about 9 years old and around 15 hands. Hammer is gentle enough for a beginner but we would recommend either an intermediate experienced level rider or a beginner under a trainer s instruction to continue to work with him on things like lead changes if you plan to show him. He s had about 30 days training with us plus some previous training so he has a great foundation but he does need more ride time to be ready for shows. We are continuing to ride him regularly as he looks for a home so he will only get better. He s made tremendous progress since we got him Hammer has great ground manners and is very patient and calm when being handled.His adoption fee is 1500 potentially negotiable to the ideal home and our rescue is in Seneca SC.Hammer did come to us with some neurologic deficits. We were told by his former owner he had EPM but the two vets who have examined him for us think EPM is less likely than Wobbler s. With groundwork and riding conditioning plus acupuncture he has greatly improved to the point that he looks normal on good terrain. We still don t recommend him for jumping or steep hills on trails. Basic trail riding would be fine but just avoiding going up and down steep embankments or over jumps on trails. Our horses have received their basic vaccinations (Rabies vaccine EWT combo vaccine) at the time of adoption. They have been dewormed and have a negative Coggins test as well. All horses have received a hoof assessment and trimming. We do our best to determine what amount of training they have had and to represent them as accurately as possible. However we usually do not know the history of our horses so we determine training by how the horses act after we get them. Please call ahead or email to set up a time to meet our horses if you are interested in adopting. They are at foster homes so we may need up to a couple days notice in order to schedule a time for you to see them. We desire for our horses to find a good home where the horse will be a good fit with the person adoption him her. With that goal in mind we do our best to accurately represent everything good and bad with our horses. Since they have received a full vet exam many times there are health problems recorded here. The vast majority of horses have at least some health issue though most sellers are unaware if the horse has not recently received a full examination. Therefore keep this in mind if we report a horse has some soreness or lameness issues - our horses are likely not less sound than other horses on this site - we simply examine them and report all concerns.As part of helping new owners find a horse that is a good fit we offer several valuable services included as part of the adoption fee on our horses. We offer a 1-2 hour training session with Alexandria Dodgen who trains using natural horsemanship techniques. She will help you learn to handle your new horse in a way that gets your horses listening to and respecting you. Our goal is to help you and your new horse have the best start possible and to help you find a horse that will be a great long term fit for you and your family. Offers for training are dependent on you bringing the horse to the trainer s facility (or potentially paying an additional house call fee at your expense). In addition to the training session CARE also provides two weeks free boarding until you can pick up your new horse. Adoption fees are sometimes negotiable to the right home.
