ASKHIM (Sander) - 15.1h - Appaloosa Gelding
Post by foxie on May 2, 2006, 8:50pm

SANDER - This appaloosa was a show type stallion before, then he fell on hard times and his feet are terribly long and grown out. He has now been gelded and will be shipped, but could be adopted too, he has a horrible healing hole on his side from running into something at the lot. He is fairly quiet and we do not think he has ever been ridden, he is about 15.1 hands tall He has lost weight and muscle mass being gelded and then getting wound in his side. He is not that old, but we do not have exact age. He came in with the Appy fillies earlier in the year and could have been their sire. For Adoption Only.

$625

Yet another wild, unmanageable feedlot horse here.



The wild, crazy feedlot stallion encounters the small boy...


And is just absolutely fine with that...


Even around his tail!


Chatty and Ashkim



Wound healing up nicely!


Ashkim working hard on fattening himself up.

Askhim's (Sander) wound doesn't show very good..it's about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long..been taking two people to do med's but tonight I walk in did it, no problem..mid-night and I'm out in the rain trying to get him to go into the barn, no way..he knows what he wants and the barn is not it...all he wanted is to be loved..like normal in my nightgown out in the pooring down rain and he wants his butt scratched...that my boy..told him to get in (he can if he wants) when he wants and he walk to the other end, made his good night sound..

the little horseman is Brandon..all the horses love him, and he knows what each one wants...Askhim is at the stage to bring Brandon in...the only thing we watch is dogs, he doesn't like them..he'll go the other way no matter how big or small they are...Nemo (Min Schnauzer-3 months) in training to find a new home, don't know if Askhim think he is a rat (Nemo is about 5lb.s) or what, but they watch each other very close..he's gentle and loving everything you want in a horse..god watches over him...chatty

haha! I knew this guy was a keeper! When I met him at the feedlot the first time, it was right before the truck was coming and I had nowhere to put him. I even emailed Ryan later and asked about him and whether he went on the truck or not, because I was going to try to make room for him if it would keep him from shipping. I'm so glad he found a good home, and it looks like he is a real sweetie. Good job, Chatty!

Been one of those week..storm, couger and horses went through fences..NOT Askhim, he was happy in his corral watching the onthers..Classy came in heat and the boys are going crazy and again NOT Askhim..he could care less..when he was used for breeding he must have had a something to tell him it was time, for she danced all around the boys and Askhim didn't care..SUCH A GOOD BOY...chatty

yesterday we put the saddle on Askhim..a little shifting of the feet, but thats it..then he walk around the round corral like the proud man he is..he would get close to the fence and let Viking sniff..as to say "HA HA look at me"..and then prance away..
have to have the vet. look at a crusty on his back, may be a wort..something we all been watching..no problem just a little set back ( can't get on his back)..BUT ALL IS WELL IN ASKHIM'S WORLD...chatty

We have discovered that Askhim can't be next to any mare at this time..You can walk him past them, have them in the pasture as long as they can't tease him...He gos ballistic..
Now we know the breeding practice they use with him...Remove him up to 10ft away and he gos back to the mellow man...
Not mean toward handlers but trys to take out any barrier between him and mare...

Otherwise hes doing great..gaining weight and has just scars left from his wound now, with hair discalloring..

More later Chatty and Askhim

PICTURES PLEASE, i am a picture addict, i need pictures, feed my addiction pleeeeeze.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[chatty]

Askhim is doing great..Doesn't look like the same horse, has a dark winter coat w/ his white spotted blanket..He love to kick up his heales at feeding time..Got to get pic's of it..Can't see where his injury was he heals up good..
Will work on the pic's chatty

[agilitygal]

So happy to hear he's doing well. Pictures would be great!

[MustangAppy]

All these Appys that came on the lot at once seem to have similar traits, roaning, crooked blazes, etc. Must have come from the same breeder. Askhim looks like he could be related to Sierra, and Concha REALLY looks like Sierra could have been her Mom.

[chatty]

Askhim came from the lot with a bad injury and scars all over..Add one more to his collection...Nice sunny day and he was kicking up his heals, put his leg through the plastic water tub...Tryed to get to him, but he had kicked it off by then...Split his rear leg opened and back to the sick pens...Doing well and thank god he hasn't a mean bone in him..Care is very, very easy...

[mustang1]

OUCH!!! At least this time he will have care and love to help him heal. I always wonder how this guy is doing,

[MustangAppy]

Sierra also had several bad scars, which also makes me think they may have had the same kind of care. She has an old wire cut on her right front foot into the coronet band that effects the hoof growth a little, and a huge lumpy scar on her left flank. Location of that wound sound familiar? She also has 2 round scars on her right withers area that are devoid of hair. Maybe from a slaughter tag that has been removed, or a hot shot. She has the same crooked blaze, and very similar build.

[chatty]

Askhim has a big scar and a ball of flesh just under his tail...That is the largest and then the side scars + small ones...He is so sweet and good natured (as long as a mare isn't around)..Have 5 geldings and 5 mares/fillies, so have to watch what pens they put him in...Had 3 of the mares together, but Bob's big paint took the gates out to get to them..He took the buckskin back with him and left the other two..Those two are in foal, so he can't do anything for them...NEVER A DULL MOMENT

[chatty]

Askhim is healing up..Now here's a Q: He plants his hinds legs and side steps with his front...Was he trained to do this or just his style....

[MustangAppy]

Sierra also does this, so who knows?? Appy thing or trained by the same people?
