On June 18, 2007 a 20 year old gelding was removed from his owner. He was living in a junkyard. He was starved, still wearing his winter coat, feet undone. He had been given no supplements and no vaccinations. The owner had been buying one bale of hay every 2 weeks for two horses. The rescue came too late for his stablemate, who was found dead of starvation.
He was a skinny red roan with bad teeth (missing front teeth, possibly knocked out) , needed dental work. He does not need a special diet.
His former "caretaker" called him "horse." We've decided to call him Fred in honor of the king of junkyards, Fred Sanford!
This is a video of Fred after one week and two days at MHR. Here's another video of Fred and his equine dentist.
Fred is rideable.
