Ulysses is a Friesian gelding who stands 14.2 hands tall. He will turn 3 years old in July 2025. He cross ties and is well behaved for the farrier and loves our walks in the woods. Unfortunately, Ulysses was dealt a bad hand and has been diagnosed with Pyloric Stenosis/gastric outflow obstruction. Pyloric Stenosis is a narrowing of the pylorus, the opening from the stomach into the small intestine. His opening is only 25% of the size it should be, increasing the risk for food to get blocked in that section. Because of this, Ulysses cannot tolerate long stemmed hay and will need to be on a very strict diet of a complete grain and chopped forage split into several meals throughout the day. Due to his special needs, having his own box stall and a full care barn is ideal. Ulysses can tolerate eating grass in the spring, summer and fall. He is thriving and doing very well with this diet. Ulysses has his whole life ahead of him! He is a stunningly beautiful Friesian, and we would love to see him placed in a home with someone who can continue to give him the daily maintenance he needs throughout his life, as well as the training and job he is fully capable of doing. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us to learn more about Ulysses. We will consider going outside our normal adoption radius to find him the perfect home, but applications inside our radius will take precedence. Adoption fee: $3,200
