Elvis

Elvis is alive and living in Pavilion, New York. This four year old gelding was rescued by the wonderful folks boarding him when the former owner wanted to take him out and shoot him. They called us on Sunday, August 22, 2004 and Darcie(President and Founder of Animal Associates) and Mike went to see him and check him out for intake to the rescue. He has now been brought into the Rescue and is a stablemate to Jate, an eight year Standardbred gelding injured on the track. When he came in he was a stallion. He is very sweet and kind. He is not tall(Maybe 14.3 hands) and has probably reached his full height. He has two blue eyes and would make someone a great first horse with some training. He does lead and will pick up his feet. He craves attention and is a real sweetheart. We have been told that he was stepped on as a foal by another horse and has some curvature of the spine. The vet feels that he could handle a light rider. We have seen him canter in pasture and he's a very nice mover. Elvis is very curious and always wants to know what is going on. Every time we take our cart in the pasture to clean manure he is always right there playing with everything on the cart. He gives hugs and especially loves kids.
