Chevy came to us in May of 2024 looking for a home that fit our veterans program.   His name at the time was Smalls which we still refer to often as the nickname is contrary of his size. 

Before coming to Courage Rock, "Smalls" was purchased from an auction from a lady that had intended to buy a saddle but instead, purchased Smalls when she saw his condition as he was getting off the trailer.  After much needed TLC and nutrition, she had decided he was ready for his next adventure which landed him here.
