Max
Max joined Safe Harbor in August, 2022. He is estimated to be somewhere between 40-42 years old, based on his original rescuer’s research. If horses could talk, he would have enough stories to fill a book! He taught children to ride, enjoyed adventures on trails, and gave people lots of memories.
Max spent the last 15 years enjoying retirement, but when his owner retired and the farm he’d been living on had sold, she reached out for help.
Max has joined our sanctuary herd so that he can continue to enjoy a safe retirement. He is the companion to another gelding on his foster’s small farm.
Max cannot chew hay, so his diet consists of soaked hay pellets and senior feed. He does enjoy gumming on grass, even though he can no longer chew it. He sees the farrier regularly and is on prescription medication for some arthritis - which is to be expected at his age!
Max’s care is partially covered by a generous sponsorship from his previous owner. Additional sponsors for this special old man are appreciated.
