Donatello (Available) Age: 10 years Height: 15.2hh Sex: Gelding Breed: Thoroughbred Adoption Fee: 645 Contact Placement Specialist ~ Tash Johnson: sand_tiger@hotmail.com10 yr old, 15.2h, TB gelding. His tatoo starts with A for age conformation. This horse tacked up and rode great. Just let the rider step right on. He walked, trotted and cantered very nicely. Has smooth transitions and was very willing. This gelding is a lovely mover, he would make a great H/J prospect however he would need x-rays to determine if his knee needs surgery or if could withstand jumping. He was sound at time of assessment and has full range of motion. If showing is not your interest, he would probably do just fine as a pleasure/trail horse. Kind disposition and quiet eye all around super nice horse.

Please include more info on his knee. I'm afraid the way the description is written now, he will have no interest at all. Is it a wound, swelling, what? The suggestion of surgery is going to be a serious turn off for most adopters.

;D My name is Jeff, I am the rider in these pics. As stated in his description, surgery would only be needed if he was wanted for a jumping prospect. Xrays would ensure that this horse would not further damage his knee jumping. He has full range of motion but would most likely not pass a flexion test. X-rays and pre-purchase is common place in the sport-horse world. As seen in the photos there is a bump on his knee, it is not from a cut otherwise you would see it in the photo. Basically he rode very nice would make excellent trail, pleasure horse or possible kid prospect. If a H/J person is interested x-rays are being suggested.

As much as it may seem like it... I am not on this board 24/7 Donatello has an adopter who has already sent in bail and will be sending QT shortly. This boy should be safe, but most of the others are not so lucky... Donatello is the ONLY horse that I am PS for that has anything going for him...
