His Story:
"Popcorn" was owned by the kill-buyer at an auction in February. Who remembers "Popcorn"? He was the BIG guy we saved from slaughter in February. He has had a long road, fighting off a nasty respiratory infection with lime green snot, rain rot, and being skinnier than any horse his size should have ever been. He was always sound from day one, only having an issue with some pesky hoof abscesses. He does require front shoes as he gets a little tender footed if barefoot.
He loves people, loves attention, wants to always be in your pocket and see what you're doing. This horse will make you laugh every minute of every day! He gets along well with other horses and enjoys to eat. No vices. No issues. UTD on shots and was fully treated for his yucky respiratory infection / snotty nose back in February. He does not have a tattoo and didn't come with papers so his history is unknown. He has clean legs and has been in the care of a veterinarian (she has been fostering him since day one). He is actually quite a pretty mover so dressage or even hunters could be in his future.
Popcorn has no known issues that we have found in the past year, however,....he is a "roarer". He does make a breathing noise when ridden especially at the canter. Our vet scoped him and did confirm he has "laryngeal paralysis" for the technical term, and would require tieback surgery in order to fix the issue IF YOU WANTED TO COMPETE AT RATED SHOWS/ UPPER LEVEL CAREER. The surgery is not necessary for ANY easier-going type of job. Pleasure riding, weekly lessons, going to clinics, local shows, pony club, local dressage/hunter/jumper shows, hill topping, etc. It would be an issue for someone looking to do rigorous careers with long periods of cantering/galloping where it could hinder his ability to "catch his breath", OR at rated shows where the noise can penalize you in rated dressage and hunter classes. The surgery is very common and typically around $2-$3k, if someone decided to pursue it. We just want to be clear, he does not NEED the surgery to have a normal job and happy life
