Horse: Luke, a 25-year-old 5-hand Palomino American Quarter Horse gelding in Ravenna, Ohio
Organization: Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary

Luke is a kind gelding that was a lesson horse in his past life. He does have some arthritis and will probably only suit light riding after some regular hoof trims and TLC. Staff at Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary are unsure he will ever be sound enough for riding, but he is a gorgeous pasture ornament regardless. Luke gets along with others and handles well. He is beginner safe in hand and is a very sweet guy. This horse will be a gem if someone is willing to give him a try. Rehabilitative home needed.
