Fighting Chance Ranch & Rescue

Formally introducing Preacher. Standing at 19.1 hands (6 feet 5 inches at the withers) he may look intimidating, but he’s far from it. He’s our 4th Belgian and true to the breed he’s calm, gentle, affectionate and eager to please. Preacher was an emergency surrender to Stricker Sunshine Rescue Ranch and he came to them in rough shape. Most notably, he was underweight and had a massive summer sore on his sheath that had to be surgically removed. He certainly ended up in the right hands with SSRR. His transformation was amazing and after a few months in their care, he hardly looked like the same horse.

Preacher has a history of heat sensitivity and has had some off and on respiratory issues which we’re monitoring closely. Unsurprisingly, he isn’t quite sure about lifting his feet so that’ll require ongoing work. We’re grateful to have a very skilled and patient farrier!

This big boy has been through a lot the last few months and at 20 years old, there’s no telling what his life was like prior. Right now, our priority is making sure he knows he’s safe. Understandably, he was a bit guarded at first but he’s already opened up so much. Each day we’re seeing more and more of his goofy personality. He’s truly a sweet, gentle soul and we’re so glad his next chapter is here with us.
