No longer useful or wanted, Dakota was headed to a dealer. Thanks to several people who worked behind the scenes, his life was spared and he came to live at Mylestone.

Dakota is in his late teens and is a registered QH. He has the best personality and loves people. He doesn't like crowds of people but one on one he is a really good boy. He gets along with other horses really well, and, in fact, he is one of Linus's best buddies. Currently, Dakota goes out with Gem and they play and run together.

Due to his past, Dakota is not ridable. He has foundered several times and also suffers from navicular and arthritis in his hocks. He wears very special shoes which have kept him comfortable for quite awhile now. Because he is eager to please with a happy go lucky attitude, he is often used for the special needs students and for new volunteers to brush. Dakota is very kind and truly has a heart of gold, and would love to be sponsored by you. Because he's worth his weight in that wonderful, rich, golden stuff, we hope you will sponsor Dakota.

Dakota is available as a companion horse only. With his outstanding personality, he would be a delight for anyone, but any prospective owner must be aware of, and prepared to undertake, the costs of his medical expenses which include his specialized shoes.
