Smokey and Kodak say take us home! Today is the first day of our #aspca #helpahorse home adoption contest and these two are a package deal for one lucky family! Both rideable, these geldings have it all— Kodak is the been-there-done that type while his buddy Smokey is more green.

NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Sporty and solid! Summation Time, also known as “Kai,” is a rare pearl in his shell. He has a lovely, athletic build, with nice angles and a solid structure. He is a kind, sweet guy, but this 2011, 16.2h gelding by In Summation is more of a worrier by nature. He will show his playful side and melt in your hands with head scratches if he feel comfortable with someone, but he will ‘clam up’ and keep to himself if he feels overwhelmed. Kai is built uphill and has the foundations of a nice, natural head carriage. His trot has lots of great suspension and his canter is very comfortable, with both leads easy to get. He has even already picked up on the concept of bending very well and has great flying changes! Once Kai has his very own person, ideally a a confident but quiet/ patient person, who will earn his trust and continue things like bodywork to help him feel comfortable, we can really see him flourishing, and he will be one stunning sport horse! Could he be the #RightHorse for YOU?

Lucille is looking for a great home to call her own. She is available as a pasture mate only. She is fully pasture sound and does not require any supplements, shoes, medications or anything other than routine equine maintenance. If you are looking for a companion for yourself or one of your horses we hope that you will consider giving Lucille a great home. Thanks Jennifer R. for the beautiful photo. #HelpAHorse #HorsesOfInstagram
