Junior was surrendered to CFERD in 2012. He was a great riding horse and was adopted in later 2013. Once in his new home, he became an escape artist and would often find his way outside of the pasture. On July 13, 2014, Junior escaped and was hit by a car and seriously injured. His adopter was concerned that they could not care for him appropriately during his recovery, so he was boarded at SpeakeEasy Stables for his recovery. Junior was on stall rest for many, many months. One day, his adopter decided to take him out of his stall to graze and by doing so, all healing efforts to date were undone. This made him permanently unrideable. Junior is now a sanctuary horse who will live his days out at CFERD. Junior is available for sponsorship only.
