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 will again be available to adopt once he has recovered from the surgery and should adapt well, since he was adjusted to being blind in that eye already. He has developed a small cataract in the other eye, and  at this time we do not believe it effects the vision in the good eye, but it could progress in the future.  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.  

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!
