It’s time for Mochi to shine!

He’s a classic, distinguished looking young Thoroughbred gelding who enjoys the process of learning new things whether that is a new groundwork exercise or picking up a new trick.

He is the most happiest when he is hanging out with his people receiving words of affirmation, snuggles and scratches.

Mochi was a part of large seizure in Jefferson County, WV in 2024. He was a body condition score of a 1…my what a glow up and transformation he went through both physically and mentally!

Upon further investigation with our vet, it was recommended that Mochi be adopted out as a non-riding horse due to some mild neurologic deficits. It is hard to even tell as he is a lovely mover and enjoys doing roundpen work walk/trot/canter as well as in hand work.

It is most noticeable during farrier visits where he is anxious about his hind feet being handled for long periods of time. DEFHR staff and trainer have put a lot of time into helping him be more prepared for the farrier and he has come a long way but he will need a farrier that understands that he may need more frequent breaks.

Mochi is a lovebug who loves being the center of attention! Come meet him today!
