About Takoda

Takoda was surrendered when his owners were investigated for neglect. Nothing is known of his history. Takoda is good natured and enjoys attention. Takoda was in very poor condition when he arrived, but he gained weight thanks to the hard work of his foster home. Unfortunately, Takoda had an old injury that caused lameness. That lameness was growing progressively worse, and despite hard work from a team of veterinarians we could not keep him comfortable. We made the tough decision to help him cross the Rainbow Bridge.

Evaluation and Training

Takoda is very friendly with people. He is easy to catch, enjoys attention, and is really laid back (as long as there isn’t a mare in heat nearby; even then he’s extremely manageable). He’s gotten really good a leading, picking up his feet, standing tied, and being trimmed. He loads and trailers well too.
