Be My Valentine - King

Meet King
King's registered name is Peppy Cutter King and is a 20 year old registered paint. We originally bought King as a personal horse to replace Dude as a riding horse. King has a number of quirks while riding so he did not really turn into the go-to horse I had hoped. He came with shoes on in the middle of winter and that should have been a red flag.

King has flat feet. It leaves him sore and means he walks very slow. We've tried shoes and boots and nothing seems to help.

In 2017 we decided to enter him into the Sanctuary. With his feet and a few other issues, we opted to let him retire.

For being a fairly large horse, his personality is rather meek. He blends into the herd with no real best friend. Jim has taken to eating near him at times. I have also recently seen him start play fights with Lightening.

King is a quiet horse but rather unsure of himself when he's not with his herd. His quiet demeanor makes me forget how big of a horse he really is.

King is also a bit claustrophobic so he prefers to not be in the barn. Because of his white noise, he often gets sunburned but doesn't like wearing masks.

Overall King is a great horse at the Sanctuary and seems to meld with almost anyone thanks to his quiet personality.

Would you like to sponsor King? $50 would go to his routine trims to help with the flat feet and buy a bag of grain to keep him happy. In return you would receive monthly updates and pictures of King hanging out enjoying retirement.
