BJ - Rescued July 2005

[schwung]

BJ is a 20 year old 16H TB-type gelding rescued from CBER. He was lucky, we were told that he was a dangerous flipper and almost didn't rescue him, but at the last moment, the story from the feedlot owner changed, he was NOT the dangerous flipper, so BJ was saved. He was very attached to Hot Lips at first so we were concerned, but once away from her he became the perfect gentleman. He is a little pushy on the ground, but not in a malicious way, he's just like an overgrown puppy that doesn't realize how big he is. He lost a lot of weight at the feedlot and in quarantine and got terribly beat up.

Here he was at the feedlot:


Here he was in foster care:


And being ridden by his new owner, he did wonderfully for her (and would never even think of flipping!):
