Shane

Shane is a 25-year-old Quarterhorse with a heart as big as his personality. This gentle gelding is as friendly as they come! He loves people, gets along well with other horses, and has a calm, even-keeled demeanor. He was surrendered in early May 2025 after his previous owner could no longer care for him due to financial hardship. Now he's searching for a soft landing where he can enjoy his golden years in peace!

For the past 15 years, Shane was a beloved kids' horse, taking on trails and teaching young riders the ropes. While he’s been ridden and still enjoys attention from the saddle, Shane does best with a confident, experienced rider he can bond with and trust. He thrives on routine, direction, and a calm presence. All this handsome guy wants is to please and be part of a team.

Shane is extra special because he has no teeth! They were extracted after it was discovered he had Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis (EORTH), a condition that causes gradual dissolving and destruction of the incisor and canine teeth, along with abnormal cementum. Though he no longer has his chompers, he's much happier now and still enjoys a good orchard or alfalfa snack! 

As a senior horse, Shane is currently on insulin to regulate his levels and thyroid supplements to keep him in tip top shape. He’ll need ongoing veterinary monitoring and possibly continued treatment, so his ideal adopter will be someone prepared to manage his care with love and commitment.

Shane is looking for a home where he’ll be cherished and well cared for, just as he deserves. He’s good with older kids, loves splashing in water, and never says no to a good meal. If you have room in your heart and pasture for this special guy, Shane is ready to meet you!
