Cowboy, pinto horse mix
Cowboy is a charming male pinto horse mix staying at Houston SPCA.
He has been vaccinated.
Here's what Cowboy's friends at Houston SPCA think of him:
Cowboy is a handsome man that gets along well with most horses. He used to work cattle in his younger years, and would enjoy a home to live out his life in retirement. He would be a pasture pet only, as he has arthritis in his joints. He will also need to keep a fly mask on and be regularly monitored for changes on his eye due to previous squamous cell carcinoma.

Presley, pinto horse mix
Presley is a male pinto horse mix currently residing at Houston SPCA.
He already has all of his shots.
Here's what Presley's friends at Houston SPCA think of him:
Presley is a smart and stubborn guy that would benefit from regular work. He is willing under saddle, but we would not consider him broke. We believe he had never been ridden prior to being in our care and has had less than 10 rides under saddle with a rider. Presley is currently in front shoes because he is recovering from negative palmar angles.
