Horse of the Week: Amos

-Pony Cross
-Gelding
-Bay
-8-Year-Old
-14 hh

Amos is an adorable pony! He is currently in a foster home where he is being ridden and started in training. He is a nice mover and has jumped cross poles very willingly. He has played mounted games a few times but is still skittish of the equipment. Amos has gotten to trust people and likes attention. He will need an experienced rider with time and a great deal of patience to continue his progress as he still spooks occasionally when ridden.



For more information on Amos or any of the other horses at the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, visit https://www.kyehc.org/.
