This geling has been around the block. His resume is quite long. Dressage, lesson horse, western, english, hunter hack, trail class, costume class, games, jumping, trail ridden. I had hopes of having my 11 year old son use this guy as his "forever horse" for 4H and trail riding. 11 yr old has things with motors on his mind, not horses. He was broke as a 3 yr old by a 15 yr old girl, competed at fair and numerous shows that summer. Next year a different 15 yr old girl used him in the same types of classes and did just as well. He qualified for district and state 4H shows both years. He did get Top Tens in english calsses at district but never went to the state show. Now my son doesn't want to ride him and I am going thru a divorce so less is more at the moment. He will do anything for you with gained respect. He's too nice to not have a job for the coming year. His pictures are a little old and he is much more heavily built now. Probably weights 1300 pounds. Great husband horse!
