Thoroughbred Stallion for Sale in Blacksburg, VA
Josh is a 13 yr thoroughbred / appaloosa cross. He is a big teddy - bear! Josh LOVES attention and people, gets along well with other horses in the pasture. He is up to date on all his shots, teeth were just floated and hoof care. Very well - mannered not easily spooked. Loads / clips / bathes, etc. Needs a loving home. Would make an excellent companion to another horse, or can be used for light riding, due to a club foot on his front left. He is sound and not lame. Serious inquirers!

About Blacksburg, VA
In the mid-1600s, English colonists were still uncertain of what lay beyond the Allegheny Mountains, whose topography and possession by native inhabitants, Tutelo-speaking tribes, were a barrier to expanded settlement by the Colony of Virginia. Abraham Wood, who commanded Fort Henry on the frontier (now the site of Petersburg, Virginia), and operated an Indian trading post nearby, organized several expeditions to explore farther west. A passage over the ridge was finally found in 1671 when explorers Batts and Fallam, sent by Wood, reached the present-day location of Blacksburg, Virginia. Their expedition followed Stroubles Creek, through the current locations of the town and campus of Virginia Tech, to what they named Wood's River. They reported the area as inhabited by the Monacan and Moneton, Siouan-speaking groups, but the Virginia colonial legislature had authorized Wood to claim it.
