Vices: None That We Know Of
Personality: Sweet, Loving, Very Friendly, Can Be a Forward Moving Horse But is Safe, He Likes to Ride
History/Training: Unknown. Purchased him and was told that the first owner had him for 4 years, rode him, she had children and left him alone for 4 years. She kept him for 2 mths when we found him for sale. We had him vet checked and purchased him in May 2015. We did OXC obstacles, parades, long endurance rides, rode alone, in groups, galloping etc. Since May he was nervous under saddle. We were unsure why. It was very much unlike his strong, confident self when we got him. The vet noticed he was stiff in his rear right hock when Tango was walking downhill. The vet feels he would need strengthening on flat ground, not ring work and not going down hills.
Future/Suitability: currently for flat ground only, not ring work, he needs to build up strength in his hock so he can do other pleasure riding. He would make a good therapeutic horse or a rideable pleasure horse for someone that can strengthen him on flat ground; no jumping. He loves people, is calm and has a gentle disposition.

Adoption Fee/Purchase Price: Accepting Offers
We would also gratefully accept volunteer chiropractors, massage therapists, vets, dentists, farriers, etc. Please Email us if you are interested in helping out in some way! Thanks!
We no longer accept cheques due to all of the NSF cheques we have received in the past. We accept email money transfers or cash. We know we will never recoup what we will invest into Tango, so we understand we will be taking a loss, and we are used to that, but we do need to get something for him, as we cannot help more horses, ponies and donkeys until we find good homes for the ones that are here. The adoption fees are very important in keeping HCW running. Tango needs and deserves a good permanent loving home.
Current Status: Located at HCW in Cameron, ON. Available for Adoption/Sale or Fostering/Lease (Until Adopted). If you have any questions about Tango and/or would like to make arrangements to see him, please email Claire at HCWEquineRescue@sympatico.ca
