Adoption Overview $500

GUMMY

GUMMY (also known as Gunther) is a Quarter Horse gelding who is looking for a home as a companion horse. He is pasture sound but cannot be ridden due to a previous injury. He is looking for an adopter with a farrier that is patient and supportive when he is not as flexible as he would like to be.  

Gummy is easy to handle. He is happy and kind. He loves to be hosed down in the heat of the summer and will let you know just where to spray the water on him.  

Gummy was a working horse in his younger years. He is looking for a job that would keep his mind active such in hand obstacles, long walks on the beach or whatever other non-riding activities you have in mind. He thrives on turnout. 

Gummy came back to the rescue following honorable service providing loving and patient companionship for a 38 year old horse that recently lost his best friend. Gummy is now looking for a new placement as a companion horse. 

He is also dashingly handsome....so he'd be great to help with photos/selfies, etc. 

Gummy is located in West Liberty, KY.
