Cody's Story

Cody came to AAE on January 5, 2020 after the long-term illness of his owner and the passing of his caretaker.  Family sent the photo (below) of him standing in a pasture. We were told Cody was a racehorse in his youth; however, after an injury, he lived life as a pasture pet/companion.  Later, we were told he wasn't fast enough for the track and never raced.  

Upon intake, Cody was very underweight, and needed basic care, including much needed dental care. Cody is was introduced to a pellet diet , and began further evaluation after he completed quarantine.  However, because of the COVID-19 situation and Stay At Home directives and reduced staffing, his evaluation under saddle was put on hold, for the most part.

Cody is a sweet, youthful ol' guy with plenty of energy.  He enjoys people, loves grooming and attention. He is getting a tune up on his ground manners as he can be a bit pushy, but he has made excellent progress. So far, he appears sound and to enjoy working!  He has been ridden less than ten times.  He is quiet at the walk, trot and canter. He seems to know how to move off the leg, and seems to be generally calm, quiet, and easy. He could be a fun restart project for someone.  His evaluation has been limited to arena rides, and we have no history of any trail riding exposure.  Cody is available for adoption, looking for an experienced rider.  He is not suitable for a beginner.

Cody is current with hoof and dental care, vaccines and deworming, and he has a microchip in place.
