Organization: Hooved Animal Humane Society, Woodstock, Ill.

Get to Know Adoptable Horse Byron

Byron is a 17-year-old gelding known for his friendly, outgoing, and playful demeanor. He enjoys human interaction, is well-versed in groundwork, and is excelling in join-up and liberty work, which highlights his willingness to connect and communicate with his handlers.

Byron has been diagnosed with kissing spines, which makes him unsuitable for riding. However, he would make an excellent pasture companion, offering companionship to other horses while continuing to engage in groundwork activities that stimulate him both mentally and physically.

Byron is currently available for adoption to a suitable home that understands his needs and can provide him with a comfortable, stress-free environment. If you are looking for a pasture pal with a strong personality and a love for human interaction, Byron may be the perfect fit.
