He was starved and lost 300 pounds.
A friend rescued him from the owners and contacted us.
He literally ate like a horse and had put all of the weight back on.
He was blind in one eye, nearly blind in the other and had a funny gait in the rear, but the old guy was still ridable and loved being a horse.
He was flabby from non-work but when in shape would have made a wonderful child's first horse.
He knew everything about western pleasure and halter since that's what he competed in.
He liked a little hay but loved moistened pellets and senior feed.
He got very vocal at the sight of a bucket.
He loved other horses and was always a gentleman.
He was usually the one getting picked on.
Pooh was older than dirt.
Because of his advanced age, Pooh eventually went totally blind.
He still got around and had become the mentor to little April.
On June 22,2000, old age finally caught up with Pooh and he was laid to rest with all of his friends in attendance.
Another friend has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
