Trabuco Canyon, CA: 12 y/o Appendix Gelding Needs Home

By

Cherokee is a 12 year-old chestnut Appendix (Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse cross) gelding. He is registered by the AQHA.  His registered name is Joel’s Man, Registration #X0612628.  His birthday is March 28, 2002.
Cherokee is about 16 hands. He is very sweet and good on the trail, although he has a very fast trot. He ties at a rail, but does not like crossties. His owner had a stroke, and the stable owner is currently trying to find a safe home for him. There is no adoption fee.
Cherokee has been diagnosed with navicular in his right front foot, but he recently had an operation on his nerves, so he is sound and able to be ridden.
Please call the stable owner for more info: Sharon (949) 202-6099.
