Horse: Levi, a 20-year-old 11.3-hand bay Hackney Pony gelding in Elkview, W.V. Organization: West Virginia Horse Network
Looking for a pony with a little pizzazz? Levi is an intelligent Hackney Pony with endless potential. He moves beautifully, picks up on lessons very quickly, and is a sponge just waiting to soak up any information someone will share with him. Levi came to the West Virginia Horse Network as a stallion. He has since been castrated and is learning how to be a gentleman. He now leads on a loose line, is doing fantastic with groundwork, and will be learning to wear a saddle in the near future. Staff recently tested him on driving, and he seems to have a knack for it. They are continuing to work with him on that. The trainer working with him right now loves horses who are “thinkers,” and this little guy is a favorite of hers. Could he be your #righthorse?
