Cappy
Barn Name: Cappy (short for Captain). He was previously named ‘Roger’.
Breed: Welsh /TB x
DOB: July 1, 2006
Sire: 13.1hh Reg'd Welsh Pony Stallion (Section B)
Dam: 3/4 Thoroughbred - 1/4 Large Welsh Pony Mare
Height: 13.1hh
Age: 4 y/o
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Bay
Health: Excellent
Lameness: Old Front Right Ankle Injury, looks like perhaps a fence injury? - He is sound and healthy otherwise and is absolutely gorgeous. He would make an excellent show pony for someone if we can get his ankle healed. JUNE 8 UPDATE: Vet came to assess and xray Cappy's ankle today. I will post the results here as soon as they are in. If anyone is interested in making a donation towards the xrays or surgery please email me! Thanks! UPDATE: Well ... after a long game of phone tag with the vet I finally had him leave some of the details on my answering machine so that I could post an update on here for you. So it seems the off/on lameness in his ankle is caused from a calcium build up around the bone (but not attached to the bone, which he said is a good thing). He and the surgeon that looked over the xrays say he should be able to be ridden lightly for pleasure by a small lightweight person. No jumping or strenuous work-outs. I have not yet talked to him so I don't yet know if there are any surgeries he could have to mend the problem he has.
Vices: None
Personality: Super Friendly. Loves attention. Easy to catch, lead, groom, tie, trim, trailer, etc. Currently turned out with a group of geldings (horses, ponies and donkeys).
History/Training: Companion, Pet - We hope to start lightly starting him under saddle as soon as there is a break in this hot humid weather. He has been very sound this spring/summer. The vet has suggested we start training him and see how his ankle holds up. He may be ok or he may not. I will keep you posted on here.
Future/Suitability: Companion/Pet or possibly more if his ankle heals well
Additional Info: Cappy lives out 24/7 with access to a shelter, pasture, hay and water trough. He does have good stall/barn manners so could be stalled at night or during bad weather, or during the hot days of the summer. He is currently on a glucosamine/supplement once a day.
Adoption Fee/Purchase Price: Accepting best Offer
We accept email money transfers and cash. We no longer accept cheques due to all of the NSF cheques we have received in the past. We have alot invested into Cappy with his hay, feed, deworming, farrier, etc. We will never recoup what we have into Cappy so we understand we will be taking a loss, and we are used to that, but we do need to get something for him as we cannot help more horses, ponies and donkeys until we find good homes for the ones that are here. The adoption fees are very important in keeping HCW running. Cappy needs and deserves a good permanent loving home. He has been patiently waiting since Nov '09.
Current Status: Located at HCW in Cameron, ON - Available for Adoption/Sale or Fostering/Free Lease (Until Adopted). If you have any questions about Cappy and/or would like to make arrangements to see him, please email Claire at HCWEquineRescue@sympatico.ca
