Retirement Fund

We are very happy to be able to provide retirement to Cappy, age 26 and recently retired from the Boston Police Department.  He was in a foster home for a little while until he got used to grass in his diet and then was moved to his permanent home. He was a little stressed at first, but now is enjoying the well deserved life of rest and trailrides.  Here are some pictures:

He needed some time to adjust, but now seems happy and is getting used to the new routine. We have to be careful at feeding time as he displays food aggression towards the other horses, but we have found the happy medium and have been able to keep everyone happy. A volunteer has taken charge of his daily grooming and he loves to go for trail rides! He has been very slowly introduced to grass and can now have an hour of grass a day. His favorite thing to do is to snooze outside (he can go in his stall any time he wants, but he prefers to be out).
