Get to Know Adoptable Horse Flying Comet
Meet Comet, a wonderfully behaved Standardbred who’s ready to squeeze his way into your family.
Comet is an absolute gem. He is kind and always eager to please. This sweet soul enjoys long, leisurely walks down grassy roads and a quiet plod around the trails once or twice a week. He’s patiently waiting to begin his next chapter and start a new career. He tacks up very quietly and has plenty of “old-man energy” under saddle.
He’s the kind of horse you can let sit for months and come back to just as you left him. He’s steady, dependable, and full of heart. Keeping him moving, but still respecting his aging body will be the perfect combo for this boy.
With his gentle eyes and genuine personality, Comet has already stolen the hearts of those at Happy Trails… And now he’s ready to steal yours, too.
Please note that Comet is currently getting 1 tab Equioxx daily to help with his arthritis
