about me: my name: Artisan age: 5 i'm from: Virginia, Montpelier country:  United States of America gender: Male breed: when I arrived: I purchased Artisan as a 2 year old eventing prospect. I was told he would mature around 16.2H. He is now almost 4 and 15.2h, likely topping out at 15.3-16h bio: Artisan spent 2 weeks with a trainer last fall and was riding w/t/c in the round pen quietly. No buck or rear, not spooky. He has not been ridden since. He leads, ties, loads, etc. He is gentle but hasn't had a ton of handling. special features: The trainer reported that Artisan was nicely forward and responsive to the aids. He will need a balanced, quiet rider or will should be sent to a trainer for some additional training. likes: His lineage goes back to State of the Art and Art Deco. He was sired by an Oldenburg Stallion and is out of a TB x Paint/Percheron mare. dislikes: Artisan needs someone quiet and skilled to bring him along. He will make a nice, quiet amateurs horse with additional training |
