Introducing Denny! His molten chocolate eyes will keep you coming back for more! This gentle boy has incredible manners that show he is a “been there and done that” kind of guy. He would be a great companion for your herd and is pretty submissive in a group setting. If you’re looking for a riding horse, this would make a nice backyard easygoing horse for short rides (15 minutes walk only), as a lead line horse with a small (kid) rider, or an advanced beginner rider. Although he is an excellent riding horse, we suspect he has given his all to humans for most of his life, and it’s only fair and time for him to finally be given just as much back by us humans. He is sound and in good shape; his gray hairs tell of his lifetime of memories behind him. He does have some go to him, but he is very kind-hearted. Denny is up to date on vaccinations, Coggins, farrier and dental care, deworming, and is microchipped. Please open your heart and fill out our Interest in Adoption Form on the Humane Society of North Texas website to learn more or schedule an appointment to meet this amazing horse at www.hsnt.org/equine-and-livestock. Could he be your #righthorse?
