Snowman was gathered at the age of 23 from the Sand Wash Basin HMA in 2021, as he along with 9 others were repeat offenders for getting too close to the main road, causing concern for the health and safety of the public and for themselves. He had injured his eye prior to the gather and was separated once at the Canon City holding facility because of his injury. He ended up loosing that eye, was gelded, received his inoculations, etc and by the time he was ready to be pickled up, he was a shell of the horse he was on the range. Realizing quickly that he wouldn’t be able to join the sanctuary herd…he had no want for life, we decided to put him into training and have him join our Retirement Herd with Demi. It took him months for him to put on weight and get the spark and light back in his eyes, but now he’s living perfectly content in his domestic life, halter trained and loving the companionship of people and his herd. Snowman has regular scheduled farrier and veterinary care, as well as special dietary needs.
