This is Murphy! He's about a year old and ALL Belgian! He's healthy, happy and CUTE. But, make no mistake, Murphy is going to be a big boy. He has been gelded! He's ready to go to his new family!!
Murphy's Story -
Murphy was rescued in March from an auction near Rochester, NY. His hero, a woman named Jonna, rescues Standardbreds normally but she could not pass up the little weanling Belgian. So, she took him home.

After she got rid of the lice and matted fur, she saw how malnourished he was! And thus, Murphy's road to recovery began. Jonna has done an amazing job. Also, he was gelded!
He was so young when he arrived at Jonna's he was still having suckling tendencies. He would sass the other horses like some babies do. Although we can't be sure, he had no idea what grain was (or what to do with it) which is a good indicator that he was taken from his mother and went to auction. Though we don't know his exact age, it was clear that he was just weaned! He was a typical, mischievous colt.
She contacted me a week ago because Murphy is already getting to be so big that the tack she has for the Standardbreds are starting to become too small. Plus, he is starting to act like a Standardbred. We're going to bring him here so he can get some quality draft horse time and find him a family!!
E-mail me at info@atonoflove.org to inquire about Murphy!!
What a beautiful big boy!
