2010 16.0 HH Chestnut Thoroughbred Gelding

Meet Visibility, a gentle, big-hearted off-track Thoroughbred with a calm and easygoing nature. This friendly gelding is seeking his forever home as a companion, as he has some ongoing soundness challenges that make him best suited for a non-riding role.

Visibility has moderate navicular disease in his right front and mild navicular changes in his left, and he currently wears glue-on front shoes to provide added support. He also has a large split in his front left hoof that our farrier continues to address and which is steadily improving with consistent care. Additionally, Visibility has mild degeneration in his front coffin bones and arthritis in his left hock.

To keep him comfortable, Visibility receives annual injections in his right front navicular region, front coffin bones, and left hock. His daily care includes 1.5 scoops of Hallway Feeds Edge 14®, along with a joint supplement, hoof supplement, and one Equioxx tablet.

Visibility adores people, loves attention, and is very much an “in-your-pocket” kind of horse—especially in the field, where he happily soaks up scratches. He’s also a big water lover and thoroughly enjoys baths and hose time. If you’re looking for a kind, well-mannered companion to bring joy and connection to your barn, Visibility could be the perfect match.
