Monster was in his early 30’s when, for financial reasons I had to sell him. We did a vet check for the new owners and the vet said “He’s very healthy. Seems to be 20 years old.” I never had to call the vet up the ranch for a visit. I didn’t keep in touch with the new owners partly, I think, because I know it would have been hard on me, and partly because if they weren’t caring for him the way I feel he should be cared for it wouldn’t have ended well. And all that is coming from me, who chose the best of the buyers. Monster had blue-eyes and I know many people consider that to be a sign of a crazy horse, but Monster was far from crazy.Hello Ken. A beautiful Paint horse was your "Monster". What happend to him ? How old was he ?
It is hard to sell an animal who belongs to you for such a long time. 30 year old and not sick is amazing !Monster was in his early 30’s when, for financial reasons I had to sell him.

@Bee62 yes, Monster is a paint but he also had about 1/3 Tennessee Walker in him so he was very large. His size, with those blue eyes all helped to make folks afeared of him. LOL

Apologies once again.
Thank you Yvonne. These two horses have done everything with me without any fear. So many wonderful memories I have, and yes, they had been healthy, strong and tame. RIP Wheena & DeulaThey were so pretty! And look mighty healthy.
