Hello, my name is LaZar Alabask! But you can call me "LaZar" for short. I am a bay Arabian gelding with a long line of show horses in my family. I was bred to step out with purpose, lift my neck with pride, and enjoy the attention of a watching crowd! That feeling never quite leaves a fellow, even when his muzzle grows a little gray.
 

My first home was full of love. My mom cared for me with a devoted heart, even when life became difficult for her. When she grew very sick and passed away, her family did their best to care for me. They made sure I did not disappear into an auction ring or get lost in a system that forgets old horses. They reached out to Rise and Ride Ranch and asked if I could have a forever home with them to finish my days with dignity. (They said yes of course)
 

When I arrived, I was thin and tired, but my spirit was still there. With steady meals and bodywork I found my strength again. Now I spend my time visiting with guests, walking on rides, and keeping company with my friend Olenna. I am an eager old gentleman and I enjoy having a proper job to do.
 

If you are lucky enough to ride with me, know that I'll put on the best show I can for you. I was raised for the spotlight and I am pleased to step into yours for the day. I will carry you with care, listen to your hands, and do my best to give you a memorable ride. I look forward to meeting you!
