Arlo’s Story
End of the Trail Horse Rescue offers homes to abused, abandoned and neglected horses of all ages. We give rescue horses a second chance.
A gentle soul looking for his forever person
Arlo is a sweet, gaited gelding standing about 15.1 hands tall. At 19 years old, he has the calm wisdom that only time can create—making him an ideal partner for beginners or anyone seeking a safe, steady, and fully trained horse.
In his younger years, Arlo spent his days as a hardworking mountain trail and pack horse. He has carried riders through rugged country and done his job with heart. Now, he’s ready for a quieter life filled with love, companionship, and easy trail rides. While mountainous terrain is no longer ideal for him, Arlo would absolutely thrive on gentle trails with someone who appreciates his kind spirit.
What makes Arlo truly special is his personality—gentle, curious, and endlessly sweet. He loves attention, enjoys connecting with people, and greets each day with a softness that is impossible not to love.
Arlo does have Cushing’s and will need lifelong medication, as well as a diet that avoids rich pasture to keep him healthy. Managed properly, he can continue to live a happy, comfortable life.
Arlo came to us through Drifter’s Heart of Hope, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to giving working dude ranch horses a better future—bypassing the sales auction pipeline and opening the door to safe, loving homes. Many of these horses, like Arlo, are older and ready to transition into lighter work, companionship, and joy-filled partnerships.
We are proud to partner with Drifter’s Heart of Hope, and Arlo is the first of many wonderful ranch horses we hope to help rehome. He is ready for his next chapter—and perhaps that chapter begins with you.
If you feel a connection to Arlo and would like to learn more, we’d love to talk with you.
