Eddie
Update
12/02/05: Eddie is a wonderful sound riding horse.
Eddie
is now being turned out with Jet and Stitch and loving life. He is sound all
around otherwise and has been ridden and gone for trails rides. He does
very well. When he sees other horses he gets excited and wants to get a closer
look, but is very controllable.
We have received information
on Eddie and he was quite the riding horse before. He is very well behaved, but
may need someone with a little experience. We were also told he drives. We are
looking for a breaking cart or sulky to borrow or buy so we can try out some of
these drivers.

Eddie
is only 15 years old and is a registered Morgan.
Placement
Fee: $1200
Eddie is an
SPCA seized rescue turned over to LCR's care on January 29th, 2005 from the
Bradford County area. He was so thin and neglected that his penis was unable to
retract and it became frost bitten and started to turn gangrene. He was a
stallion and was gelded at the same time as the penisectomy (amputation of the
penis), by Quakertown Vet Clinic. The surgery was a complete success with
careful follow up instructions so as not to let him bleed.
Eddie, 3 days
post surgery.
Doing very well, what a gentleman.
February 19th,
2005, only 3 weeks after rescue taking a walk on the road to recovery.
Eddie is now
being turned out with Abe and Stitch and loving life. He appears to be sound all
around otherwise and will go under riding evaluation once he is back to full
strength and weight.
We have received information on Eddie and he was quite the
riding horse before. He is very well behaved, but may need someone with a little
experience, as we were told. he may be different now that he is gelded and we
will begin to evaluate him soon. We were also told he drives. we are looking for
a breaking cart or sulky to borrow or buy so we can try out some of these
drivers.
Thanks for your patience. We were also told Eddie is only
13 years old.
