About this Horse
Xanthus caught the eyes of many when he arrived as a surrender back in 2022. This adorable, 13.2HH Buckskin was full of spunk and personality from the beginning. He loved attention from humans and was very intelligent, two qualities that still hold true today! It didnât take long for him to become a favorite amongst the staff and volunteers here at Longmeadow. After some time here at the Ranch, he was evaluated by our trainers under saddle.Upon evaluation, our trainers found that Xanthus had a hyper-sensitivity to poor saddle fit. We believe he has a history of ill-fitting equipment, which has now led to this sensitivity. After some training and a lot of patience from both our trainers and Xanthus alike, we found that this pony does best in English saddles with a seat size of 15â and under. When being ridden under a saddle that fits him comfortably, Xanthus shows his true potential! He has gone on multiple trail rides here at the Ranch and does best with confident, balanced riders.Xanthus is a mighty little pony and tends to be at the top of the pecking order in his herd. With our staff members and trainers, he is extremely personable and sweet. Since he has been known to test new people and handlers, he will require an adopter confident enough to be his leader. Xanthus has a âwants to pleaseâ attitude and would make the perfect pony for that perfect person. Adoption Fee:$700Height: 13.2HHMaximum Carrying Weight (includes both tack and rider): 165lbs

Adopt XANTHUS and Receive XANTHUS's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, XANTHUS's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is XANTHUS's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the XANTHUS, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming XANTHUS's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and XANTHUS was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, XANTHUS’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the XANTHUS’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, XANTHUS’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
