Lloyd: Smart, Steady, and Full of Potential

Lloyd – A Project Horse Ready for His Forever Home

Breed: Unknown
Age: 3
Height: 14 hh

Description: Lloyd is a stunning black stallion with a heartwarming journey and incredible potential. Since joining our rescue in October, Lloyd has made remarkable progress and is now ready to find his forever home with an experienced and patient owner. He was advertised by the feedlot as gelded, and not until we could touch him all over did we realize he was a stallion. He is available for adoption with a 90-day gelding contract. If the rescue needs to cover the cost of gelding Lloyd, his adoption fee will increase, but with successful fundraising efforts, we can keep his fee lower and find him a home sooner.

Training and Temperament:

• Handling: Initially untouchable, Lloyd now wears a halter comfortably and has been started under saddle. He now approaches strangers and teenage children. He has successfully taken commands from skilled trainers with responsiveness without reactivity.
• Commands: He responds to “easy,” “woah,”, “walk on,” “trot,” “canter,” “move out” (back to the rail), click to move, and correction sounds.
• Skills: Lloyd is becoming adept at giving to pressure, flexing his neck in a soft, supple way, and taking direction from his handler. He follows directions to walk, trot, canter, and back down at direct verbal commands as well as a series of clicks and kisses. He listens both on a lunge line and at liberty. He has also started under ground driving.
• Experience under saddle: Lloyd has had his first rides. He is learning to respond to soft bit pressure and leg commands.

Ideal Home: Lloyd thrives in a calm and consistent environment. He needs someone who understands the importance of patience and positive reinforcement. With continued training and love, Lloyd has the potential to be a wonderful companion and possibly more.

Health: Lloyd is up-to-date on vaccinations, deworming, and is learning to stand for the farrier. He is in good health and ready for the next chapter of his life.

Adoption Fee: $1,100 – increasing with training.
