Victor  "Victory Chick"
Foaled 2/11/81
15.2  Appendix Quarterhorse
Chestnut w/big white nose

Victor's prior owners had been gouged for huge vet bills for cortisone injections, but my observation is simply that they had the worst farrier in the world - the angles on his front feet were so dramatically different as to be ridiculous. Poor Victor was trying to move in one tennie shoe, and one high heel! I pointed this out, but the prior owners had already made their decision, and so Victor came to TGC. Although I hope for donations from this family in the future, they are not providing sponsorship support for Victor. Happily, after 8 years, Malika has found a friend! Inoffensive Victor wasn't accepted by any stablemate - everyone tried to attack him over their stall fences, but in the field, he hooked up with Malika and the two are now inseparable. I moved his stall next to Malika's, and he escorts her to her stall each night. Little Malika with a "younger man" boyfriend! After a proper shoeing, Victor is going well. He's a great size for a lesson horse but will need some work to calm him down a little.

 
    Victor lost his lady, Malika, and his sponsor of two years, Mickey Brown, within a month of each other.  He has sought comfort first with PC and Sunny, and then his new 'best buddy', Shine.  I will be starting to work with Victor a little now that he's more alone.  
At this time Victor is looking for a sponsor.  Please contact Casey if you would be interested in sponsoring Victor or any of the unsponsored horses at The Golden Carrot .
