Welcome to Horse Illustrated’s weekly installment of the Right Horse Adoptable Horse of the Week, offered in partnership with the ASPCA’s Right Horse program. This week’s adoptable horse is Brew! Check back weekly for a new featured horse so you can find your Right Horse.
Organization: MSPCA at Nevins Farm, Methuen, Mass.
Get to Know Adoptable Horse Brew
If you ever wanted a horse-sized Bulldog, Brew is your guy! This stocky gentleman is looking for his new digs. Due to his conformation, Brew is adoptable as companion only and should not be ridden. His legs are quite short for his body and his front fetlock joints are both dropped. This does not stop this boy from kicking up his heels while out in the paddock, though! After reviewing with MSPCA’s vets, they have determined he is not painful and has most likely been this way his whole life. Upon ultrasound, we were able to rule out Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Disease (DSLD), as his ligaments looked quite healthy.
Brew is a pretty easygoing guy and is able to turn out with both mares and geldings. He leads well, though sometimes thinks he is a bulldozer and needs a quick little reminder that he is, in fact, attached to a human. He is very responsive and very sweet; he just needs a little tune-up. Brew is up to date on all vet and farrier care and is a pretty easy keeper, maintaining on just a bit of balancer and first-cut hay.
If you are looking for a big hunk of a gelding to love on, or if your current horse is lonely, please submit an adoption inquiry for ASPCA Right Horse Adoptable Horse of the Week Brew and a staff member from MSPCA at Nevins Farm will be in touch.
