Renegade

Renegade is the picture of health at first glance. He is a large, well built, bay Quarter Horse with the sweet disposition that his breed is famous for. In 2002, he was diagnosed with navicular. A stable took him in and worked with him. When they finally felt he was ready to be ridden again, he would stumble and slip. The stable's vet diagnosed him with EPM. Since then the stable has been treating him with Bayer's Marquis. The bills mounted. Renegade did not improve. He received physical therapy to stop muscle atrophy in his hindquarters. Finally, the vet recommended that Renegade be put to sleep. The people at the stable were so deeply vested in the beautiful horse they could not bear to put him down and asked HPS to take him

Since arriving at the HPS sanctuary, Renegade has received chiropractic treatment and the chiropractor feels that he has broken his pelvis at some point in his life. She has seen horses with this type injury before. Our farrier came to the same conclusion the first time she trimmed his hooves.

Renegade is slowly being reconditioned by having him step over rails and light riding at a walk or trot. We have also taken him on short trail rides. He is a very sweet gentle horses that would be appropriate for a beginner. He reins English very well but needs more work with neck reining. So far he is doing very well and he shows signs of having had very good training. We are very hopeful that he will soon find a nice home.
