Amado was born at the rescue in March of 2022 - at which point he had a severe under-bite and tendon damage on his front legs making him unable to stand. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was given special shoes for his feet, and cared for until a surrogate mother could be found. Today, Amado is healthy and thriving. Amado is a brave, mischievous, happy-go-lucky horse who rarely has bad days. He loves the company of people and other horses alike - often trailing them like a shadow. When he’s not near others, you can see him thinking intently and being incredibly observant - just like his mom. Amado is still working on his manners, but continues to learn from our trainers and his fellow horses - especially his pasture mates, Elton and Hershey.
