Pet Wellness ClinicName: Elgin
Animal ID: 565225
Gender: Male
Age: 4 years old
Breed: Quarter horse
Height: 13.3hh
Adoption Fee: $1,000
Location: Houston
Adopter experience needed: Intermediate
Training level: Green Broke
Current assessment and personality: Elgin is a young, honest gelding. He has a very mellow personality and prefers to be lazy. He is green broke and would love an adopter who would exercise him regularly and allow him to further develop his skillset, fitness and help him reach his full potential. He has good ground manners and is very willing to face new challenges, but would be best suited for an encouraging rider who would not be afraid to push him when needed. Although very willing, he is still green therefor will require an adopter to finish his training.

Leads: Yes
Catch in pasture: Yes
Stands for farrier: Yes
Ties: Yes
Bathes: Yes
