About this Horse
Meet Hashbrown! Hashbrown came to Longmeadow in 2023 as an owner surrender. He was extremely frightened of people when he arrived â so much so that he would tremble anytime someone entered his stall. When we were finally able to halter him, we found that he was suffering from severe dental neglect and had an infected tooth causing him immense pain. No wonder he didnât want us near him! We werenât too sure what happened in this young Mustangâs past, but we knew what his new future would bring â lots of care, patience, and love. Once we gained his trust, we were able to have him seen by our vet to treat his tooth and begin his much-needed dental care journey. Then, once his teeth were taken care of, we introduced him to our farrier. Again, he was terrified. It took months for Hashbrown to stand safely and calmly for our farrier, and some days he is still unsure, but we are very proud of how far this boy has come! Eventually, he was settled in enough to be evaluated by our trainers. In time, he was lightly started under saddle, but during early training we noticed lameness in his front left leg. Radiographs revealed a possible bone chip in the lateral side of his pastern, which our vets believed could be the source of the issue. Unfortunately, due to his troubled past, Hashbrown was not a tolerant patient during parts of the procedure of the lameness exam (specifically the parts that included needles), so we were unable to fully pinpoint the problem. Due to these soundness limitations he showed, he is best suited as a pasture pet. That said, if someone experienced wanted to pursue further training and veterinary work, he may still have potential under saddle with a professional trainer and, eventually, an advanced rider.Hashbrown is a reserved soul who takes time to build trust with his handler, but once a bond is formed, his intelligence and willingness to please shines. Heâs a quick learner, retained training well, and responded best when working consistently with one or two confident handlers. However, due to his painful dental history and the abscessed tooth, Hashbrown can still be a bit head shy. Because of this and his cautious nature, heâll do best with a patient, experienced handler who can continue to build his confidence and trust. He will also require a 6-month dental float schedule for the rest of his life to maintain his dental health after his tooth abscess.Hashbrown is an easy keeper and comfortable in a pasture setting. He gets along well with both geldings and mares. He will need an adopter who can continue working with him to gain confidence in seeing the vet and farrier.

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, HASHBROWN's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is HASHBROWN's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the HASHBROWN, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming HASHBROWN'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 HASHBROWN was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, HASHBROWN’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the HASHBROWN’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, HASHBROWN’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!
