This one-year-old Arab Cross (maybe Paso Fino) colt was purchased at the Bowie Texas Livestock Auction as an O'Dwyer "Last Chance" horse by another rescue. Due to the amount of time that is required for training the other rescue relinquished the colt to us. The colt was transported directly to our rescue along with three other horses we had just rescued from Bowie Auction house. He has not been handled as far as we can tell and so we are working with getting him to trust us, slow, slow steps. He had an injured leg, a deep cut above his eye, seems to have some trouble with his teeth but we haven't been able to handle him yet. We continue the daily steps to get him haltered and gentled. Trusting is so hard when you've been starved and who knows how he was handled before he came to us. September 29 2022 - Break though, BB King let Shannon halter him and they went for a walk together. YEAH! October 2022-- BB King can be haltered, leads, ties, loads, picks up all his feet, had a dental and the farrier worked on him easily. He is good in the round pen, will saddle and bridle easily but has never been ridden as he is about 1 year too young to start. He has gained all the weight he needs and is in the pasture with Prim and Benny.
