We rescued Pete from a farmer that was going to put him down. Pete was in a pasture with cattle and killed the farmer’s calves. We are not sure of his actual age but we guessing he is around 10 years old. He is a bit timid at times. He stands for the Ferrier, runs with standard size equine with no problems. However; any thing smaller and his instincts is to attack it. Just keeping it real for you. I think he would do great as a stud or a pasture buddy.
