More about temperament:
Greyson currently lives outside 24/7 in a herd of geldings and is comfortable with neighboring pastures of geldings. He is at the bottom of the herd and is respectful of his herd members in all situations. He is accustomed to electric fence lines and will do best with that living arrangement to ensure he remains respectful. Greyson is comfortable with multiple handlers and is easy to catch, friendly in the field and leads in and out of the field. He respects a handler who will remind him to be polite and is easily corrected if need be. He likes to assess smaller spaces such as stalls when being led but is good in the stall, will wait quietly and enjoys having company in the barn. He is good in crossties, enjoys grooming, slow and patient tacking, and is well-behaved for the vet and farrier. Greyson has worn front shoes in the past but is currently doing well barefoot. He has a great appetite and is currently on a free choice feeding program of second cutting alfalfa/grass hay mix, a concentrate and fat supplement to support his weight. Depending on his future climate he may need to be blanketed.

Additional information about our rehoming policies and practices:
Every potential Adopter must complete a CANTER Michigan Adoption Approval Form that includes information on riding skills, horse care experience, use of trainer, details on the location where the horse will be boarded, vet, farrier references and stabling, trainer, and personal references if applicable. Approved adopters may visit the training facility for CANTER thoroughbreds that are available for adoption, meet with the trainer who assesses the adopter's horse knowledge and riding skills, and if comfortable, will monitor the adopter riding the horse to ensure a good match between horse and adopter. The adopter pays an adoption fee and signs a CANTER Michigan Conditional Lifetime Adoption Agreement to adopt the horse which prohibits the horse from racing or being sold at auction and gives CANTER Michigan first right of refusal if the adopter needs to re-home the horse in the future.

CANTER Michigan 262 North Four Mile Road Traverse City MI 49696 810-599-3353 Last Updated Public Charity Our Mission/How we are involved with horses: CANTER Michigan's program helps Thoroughbred ex-racehorses to heal from injuries, receive retraining so they can excel in new careers and marketing to find the perfect CANTER-approved home. CANTER Michigan accepts non-competitive and injured thoroughbreds off racetracks in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Most are young at 3 - 5 years old. CANTER Michigan transports them off racetracks into Michigan State University for surgery to repair racetrack injuries, or to CANTER-approved rehab or training facilities for veterinary evaluation, treatment and farrier care. Rehabilitation time helps them adjust to farm life and living in a herd. Retraining begins for new careers and marketing results in adoptions by CANTER-approved adopters in non-race homes. CANTER provides lifesaving surgery to remove bone chips or repair leg fractures at Michigan State University, while providing an advanced education to MSU Vet students who assist with all aspects of arthroscopic surgery. CANTER horses heal with several months rehab. A vet assessment determines when they can end rehab and begin retraining for new careers.

Our organization's primary activity is equine rescue & adoption. Our organization is directly responsible for the care and shelter of equines involved in our programs.
