We reported over the years about a situation in Central Point where numerous animals, including horses, were kept in horrific conditions. We removed the last of the surviving horses in 2018.

Arlo was one of the survivors. He arrived with Frida 300 pounds underweight and lame. At Equamore he regained his weight and had shoes on his front feet that managed his lameness. He grazed in the gelding field each day and was very much a loner.

Easily intimidated by other horses, he only came down from the field to the barn for the night when the coast was clear to avoid any ruckus. He knew what stall was his and went directly to the run opening and waited for someone to open the chains and let him in.
