Update Rambo is heading to his new Top Notch Home

Say hello to Rambo!!! GELDING 17.3 Hands 14 years old
Please read the whole ad before responding..

Rambo is looking for a home and is available at a lower reduced rehoming fee ..

Rambo was on a amish farm were he lived his life working hard. He was being sent somewhere less than desirable and we stepped in and took him in. ..

Since we have taken in Rambo he hes been great under saddle. He will walk trot , has a extremely smooth trot , and canter.
He stops on command and also drives.
Under saddle hes beginner safe.

On the ground hes is alitte nervous. He was doing pretty good until we had his vet stuff done. He wasn't a fan of the needles and set him back alitte.

He needs work standing at mounted block.
He needs some more time to trust people.

He would benefit from ground work and lots of love.

If you have it in your heart to give Rambo a chance please message us. We have videos.

Unlike most rescues , we are self funded. We don't beg and make sob stories for donations!!

All rehoming fees cover are cost and expenses we acquired while in top notch care.

With this being said we allow out of state homes and also we have shipping available .

We are LOCATED in somerset pa
