Biggie is a handsome guy with a sensitive soul!  He was a war horse on the racetrack, sound and successful until his retirement at 9 years old. He was a resident of Squirrelwood Equine Sanctuary where he was retrained in the basics of dressage and pampered as a pet.  He has not been ridden for almost 5 years as no fault of his own, just the priorities of the sanctuary were not in riding.  Since coming to BAHR, he has been slowly evaluated for coming back to being ridden and still has some room to grow.  He will require a gentle and sensitive rider and will be suitable for flat disciplines only, no jumping. He can be a bully with other horses in the pasture and prefers private turnout.  He is not, however, group bound, he does not mind staying inside or outside alone, so could possibly be content as an only horse, something we dont say about many horses.

Biggie had a pasture accident years ago resulting in a detached retina, causing blindness in that eye. recently he luxated the lens of the same eye and the decision was made to have it removed to prevent future discomfort, as the vision was gone anyway .  He has recovered well and is ready to meet prospective adopters again.

Biggie is sensitive and does not enjoy braving the elements, whether that means bugs and sun, rain and wind, or snow, he will tell you he wants to be in his stall by weaving at the gate.  He will also weave some in his stall if he is ready to go out.  

Biggie is not for the novice owner or rider, but if you are looking for a loving horse to pamper, ride casually or play in the dressage ring, Biggie could be the guy for you!
