tack was purchased as a beginner horse that I wanted to use for trails. I am a beginner (have not had a horse in over 20 years). Turns out I am more a beginner then I thought. My horse is beautiful but needs a little more experienced rider then me. My horse is at the trainer now and we will continue to work together unless he is sold. There is a chance I would keep him then. If I could sell him to a good home with a confident rider that would be great. He is in good health, UTD on everything. Had power float in July. Good feet, good for farrier, clipping (tolerates ears), easy to trailer, easy to catch. I've ridden him mostly in the arena. I think he is better with other riders (versus alone). He is very nice in the pasture w/ other horses. His ground manners are good and now with some training I think he will be an awesome trail horse (plus he is pretty). I have videos and more photos and you can talk to his trainer. Again, I think Tack is great, its more me being new that I need more a babysitter horse. I would consider a trade for the right horse (I only want to trail ride, usually by myself as I only have one horse). Please, this is hard enough so serious inquiries only. Price is neg. to right home. I already have him listed quite a bit under what I paid taking in account the horse market. Him going to a good home is most important. Also, he is gaited but his gait needs some work and I don't know enough about gaited horses. My trainer has gotten him to gait. His canter is beautiful!!
