Maverick

Maverick was an 8 year old Mustang gelding dun, 14.2 hands; non- rideable , companion only horse. This beautiful, majestic Mustang was very patient while recuperating from a fractured elbow, unfortunatly that was just the beginnings of his long list of problems.  Although Mustangs are usually the picture of a well put together horse,  Mav had poor confirmation from the get go.  Everyone loved Mav and he was adopted out in the late Summer of 08 to Jim and Bev of Yoder Colorado.  They just adored him and he had severl pasture mates to share the 100 acres he called home.  Sadly in the spring of 2009 Mavrick's joints were so warn out that he had difficulty standing let along hanging with his herd.  As hard as it was, everyone who loved this majestic horse agreed that the honorable thing to do was to let him go with dignity.  Mav was humanely put down and buried at his home.  He was one of a kind and will be fondly remembered as one of MVHR's greats!
