Description

Update: I was contacted by the previous owner that had him for the last 1.5 years. She said he was aggressive. I did not personally witness that behavior, nor sale yard employees. He was brought in by people who were supppsed to take him to slaughter. They did not tell the sale yard about the aggression. His tail was cut as a memory keepsake. Lionheart is a true black beauty who is a gentle giant. He stands maybe 18hh, as I was too short to reach, and is said to be 10 years old by the previous owners. I did look at his teeth briefly and his teeth support that, in my opinion. The previous owners said that he is broke to ride and drive, and he did tolerate weight pressed on his back. He is not a horse for beginners in my opinion due to his size and puppy dog personality. He needs a refresher in manners and personal space, but was well behaved otherwise. He picks up his feet, leads, backs, and is gentle on the ground. The previous owners cut a matted area out of his tail as shown and his hooves do need farrier work, being uneven, cracked, and chipped. He is very friendly and loves attention, although you may need a platform to scratch his withers. Lionheart is branded but his identity is unknown at this time. He is absolutely gorgeous and overall looked to be in good condition. He is a bit underweight, weighing in at 1739 pounds. This is a horse I would never have expected to find in a kill pen. He is quite the find for a bargain price. I did check him for a microchip and my scanner did not pick up anything, but that may have been because it said my battery was low. I will re-check him on Saturday if he is still there.
