Dawson City is a tall, handsome gelding who knows how to turn heads. With four white feet and a bold, thick blaze, he’s sure to catch everyone’s eye with his striking good looks. Responsibly retired and sound, Dawson is ready for his next chapter.
In the pasture, he’s friendly and easy to catch, but don’t be fooled—Dawson knows he’s hot stuff and holds the top spot in the pecking order. He’s confident and charismatic, making him a standout both in looks and personality.
After some well-deserved downtime, Dawson will be evaluated to see what direction he’s best suited for. He’s waiting to meet his next admirer!
