Charlie the Horse

I want a home for him similar to what he has with my Mom. A home where he is loved and has a stall with an in-and-out paddock. He needs ample paddock space during the day and locked in at night. He loves to be turned out in the pasture several times a week, so this should be available to him in his new home.

• Charlie is healthy and sound and has been retired from showing. He loves other horses and is great on the trail. He hasn't been ridden hard in the last few years; he can be ridden; I just don't want him ridden too much or too hard.
  

• Charlie is a registered Quarter Horse who looks more like a Thoroughbred. He is very easy-going, well-mannered, and great with adults and children. 

• He may only go to someone deeply committed to giving Charlie the life and care he requires. He needs regular healthcare, dental work, shoes/barefoot trimming, supplements, etc. The right next home is with an owner who has 1) experience, 2) appropriate housing for the horse, 3) plans to keep him long-term, and 4) appropriate plans for how he will be used relative to his age and health.
  

• He is easygoing, and would be excellent for helping to teach horsemanship (how to well care for and keep a horse). 
  

• Finally, he is not a sanctuary horse. Charlie has never been turned out to pasture with other horses. He would make a great second horse or companion horse for another, so long as he has separate indoor and outdoor quarters. I'm sure he'd be great with other horses, but he just hasn't been out to pasture or kept with others directly, so I'd love to keep him in a situation with his own space.
