Greener Pastures: Woody

Woody is a 28 year-old gelding (in 2017) with a Tennessee Walker heritage. The breed is known to be gentle, affectionate and intelligent; a combination of the best traits taken from the Standardbred, Morgan, Thoroughbred, Canadian, and Narragansett Pacer families. This foundation led to the Tennessee Walker which developed distinctive qualities of its own. The breed is well known for three gaits; the swift running walk, the slow bold flat foot walk, and the slow high rolling canter.

Woody had been adopted out successfully, but the family who loved him ran into some difficulties that prevented them from caring for him adequately. Under Mylestone’s adoption umbrella, Woody safely returned to us. Mylestone’s adoption policy helps us prevent horses from falling through the cracks; there is a safe place for them to return. Woody was thin when he returned, but quickly regained the lost weight.
