Adoptable Horse: Toro Strike, a 6-year-old 15.3hh Thoroughbred geldingOrganization: Kentucky Equine Adoption Center, Lexington, Ky.
Toro was a graded stakes winner on the track and is very personable. He is a “been there, done that” kind of guy. Pampering is his favorite luxury and he soaks up all the attention. Due to a sesamoid issue, he is available for light riding only—nothing more than a walk. Toro would be a fabulous farm trail horse and is unfazed by almost everything. He requires very little upkeep and will soon be barefoot and maintaining a healthy weight to no longer require grain at feeding time. This horse is waiting for an owner to treat him as the winner he has always been.Photo courtesy Kentucky Equine Adoption Center
