Sizzling spent many months in our program waiting for the right adoptive home. When Robin Clayton met him, it was love at first sight. She found Sizzling to be the kind, cuddly type of horse that she enjoys and felt that his laid back nature would make him the perfect hack horse that she was looking for.

'Sizzling' has been settling into his new home in Port Elgin for the past couple of weeks and Robin reports that his presence in the small herd on her parent's farm has caused quite a stir. Her two aged geldings, who up to this point had shunned the Clydesdale filly in their midst, were quite perturbed when Sizzling took a liking to her. They immediately set about reclaiming the filly but Sizzling quietly and patiently continues to win her away. Tolerated now by the two old guys, Sizzling waits until they are engrossed in their hay before he gradually moves the filly away from them. Robin says it is quite entertaining to watch the old boys finally look up, realize their woman has deserted them again and decide they had better rustle her back from the upstart!

Robin has walked and trotted Sizzling around briefly and was pleased that he was very accepting of this despite not being ridden for well over a year. She looks forward to a summer of working with Sizzling, gaining his trust and spending some time hitting the trails. Having had to euthanize a beloved mare in the recent past, Robin is hoping to fill this painful void with her new equine companion. We hope Sizzling is everything Robin had hoped for, and more, and we wish them many happy years together.
