He got a hoof trim and a halter was placed on him before he was loaded in the trailer. He wasn't too sure about loading in the trailer but he went in calmly. He began approaching us and sniffing our hands before we even started the long drive home.
Speaking of the long drive home, it took about 5 hours to get from the Litchfield corrals to our home in Napa. We stopped frequently and checked on him. He ate calmly from our hands and was happy to see his new home and his new horsey friends.
Cooper already shows a lot of promise. He is a BIG horse and the first item of business will be to measure him. I say he is 14.3 or 15 hands. And he is only 2!
Cooper is a 2 year old gelding from the Red Rock Lake Herd Management Area. This is a small herd and they are known for their large size. Click here to find out more about the Red Rock Lake HMA.
