He has solid basics in the arena- a balanced and collected w/t/c- he knows his leads, simple changes, will pivot off his rear, flexs thru the neck, gives with slightest pressure to the bit, and has a nice low headset for hunters, english or western pleasure. Will ride in either English or Western tack and been started on neck reining.
Virtually spook proof and with a little finishing, this horse could make a very nice pony club horse, hunter/jumper, medium level dressage (very uphill build and movement), fox hunter, eventer, or keep him as just your family trail horse. Sane without lunging, even after MONTHS off and virtually perfect on the ground!! Could go youth horse with his sane nature, but tall and substantial enough to be a 'husband's horse'...
On a midwest working farm he has experienced more things than your typical barn horse ever will... wildlife- deer, turkey and pheasants in the pastures, large farm implements, cattle, donkeys, goats, semi trucks and trailers. He's immune to traffic, loud noises and boisterous activities. Trailers as though he was born there, and ties quietly to stand all day if needed.
Has been rode out to check cattle and fences, but mostly just a family horse. Second time saddled this season (trail ride), he was rode by a 13 year old novice rider, absolutely enjoys human contact and interaction.
Barefoot with very nice hooves. UTD on everything. This guy is extremely healthy and ready to go to work. Email for details-NEW picts available on my web site, and video footage.
