Meet Amp, he is approximately a 17 year old, 16.1 hand, grade, appendix QH. Amp is looking for a new pasture to be a companion, with occasional trail riding. I bought Amp when he was about 7 years old. He was my WASHET/JR Rodeo/Jackpot barrel horse. In 2018, I sold him due to the fact I had felt we had exhausted our limits in the barrel pen and I wanted to get another project horse. After I sold him, he continued to be a JR Rodeo horse. Last year (2023) in November the buyer contacted me and gave him back to me and promised he was sound. When I got him back, he could not walk on his back leg, over grown feet, extremely underweight, bad teeth and some other small maintenance issues. He could not walk on his back leg due to a bad case of thrush and the shoes that were on him were too small. I got the thrush to clear up and I took him to the vet where he had his teeth done, sheath cleaned and brought to date on vaccines. I have worked really hard to get weight back on him. We started working him again and he was the same exact horse I had sold back in 2018 (at the time he had no limp). He picks up both leads, great woah, walk, trot and lope. After some conditioning I took him on a trail ride and he was perfect. After the ride he came up lame and has been off since May 1. On 7/1 the lameness was not getting better after changing shoes, being seen by a massage therapist and chiropractor. We could not find any heat in his feet or legs. The shoer believed he was showing signs of navicular. On 7/29 I took him to the vet and abscess blew out his heal the same day and was determined that was the root cause of lameness. We did x-rays of front left, a small bone spur was found on the navicular bone, however the vet said if kept on 3-5 degree wedge, he should be sound and no never block is needed. I am working to clear the abscess but wanted to update his ad. Asking 1500. Please call/text/email with any questions. A GREAT HOME IS A MUST OR HE WILL BE STAYING WITH ME!
