My given name is Lucky and Cool, but everyone calls me Louie. I am a 10-year-old Thoroughbred gelding. I am full of personality and love attention. I love to have my head scratched and pick up things with my mouth. I have great ground manners, am perfect for the farrier and vet, and am an easy keeper. While I am not able to be ridden any longer, I still have lots of love to offer.
