Big Britches is a nineteen year old Standardbred-Quarter cross gelding going on two.
He was donated to the rescue by a retired equine vet here in the upstate New York area.
The doc's daughter would only ride him about once a year when she visited from out of state.
He was alone and frankly, getting up and out on cold winter mornings no longer appealed to the doc so he called us.
Britches is a very handsome horse but was pushy since he wasn't ridden very often.
His favorite trick when someone got on his back was to back up as fast as he could so he wouldn't have to work.
It took us a little time to get him out of that frame of mind and now he has been placed with a family in Hilton, NY and is doing very well.
