Currently wearing corrective shoes, but hopeful this will not be needed in the future. Some western pleasure under saddle training and would need some refresher training. Intermediate to advanced rider is required.
Hank - is a delightful senior gentleman who loves to flirt wt the ladies. He is a fun personality and will get your attention by rattling the gate until you give him a treat! After much rehabilitation he is now a happy, healthy guy. He suffers from arthritis in hind end, no longer can be ridden, however would make a wonderful pasture pal or pet for the right family!

Home For Horses Coalition
Horses are deeply woven into the heritage and history of Maryland. As the Maryland Horse Council, we strive to honor that heritage, while continuing to support the growth and vitality of Maryland’s impressive horse community. Since being established in 1985, we have sought to unify, inform, and represent the community as a whole. As the industry’s trade association and representative to the state legislators, MHC provides one common voice in the Maryland state legislature and state agencies, by interacting with the media and the general public, and by keeping its members informed on issues that affect them and their horses.

The United Horse Coalition
The United Horse Coalition
We’re a group of agencies working together to collect national data on at-risk equines and those in transition from nonprofit organizations that take custody of at-risk equines and/or provide other services related to improving equine welfare such as assistance with veterinary care, euthanasia, rehoming, and behavioral needs as well as other “safety net” services including but not limited to feed banks and gelding clinics.

The United Horse Coalition
The United Horse Coalition grew out of the Unwanted Horse Summit, which was organized by the American Association of Equine Practitioners and held in conjunction with the American Horse Council’s annual meeting in Washington, D.C. in April 2005. The summit was held to bring key stakeholders together to start a dialogue on the plight of horses at-risk in America. Its purpose was to develop consensus on the most effective way to work together to address this issue. In June 2006, the UHC was folded into the American Horse Council and now operates under its auspices.
