"Austin" is a coming 14 year old Arabian gelding, his sire was B.A.D. Bahim Shetan which was a champion reining stallion and he is a great grandson of ***Bask, he goes back to Raffles and many other amazing horses. He is registered as a Half Arabian due to something with his dams side, the previous owner didnt know why. I have had Austin since he was 1 1/2 and have broke him out myself and riding him since he was 2 1/2. He has been used exclusively as a trail horse but I have used him to go overnight camping and big organized trail rides, he did amazing at it all. He has ALOT of stamina and heart and puts himself into all his jobs. He very athletic and therefore not a horse for biginner riders, he needs a experienced rider and a gentle hand, he is very soft and has great gates. He is very very smart he knows how to open gates, untie knots, take off halters, and fly masks, and has a level head when it comes to chalenges. He is a spirited horse, not spooky. He is very polite on the ground and doesnt kick, bite and is very good keeper and stands for farrier, bathing and saddling, he loads no problem in any trailer and he does clip only for his bridle path, doesnt like his ears clipped out or his face. Reason for selling is due to not having enough time for him, I have two children and am homeschooling and just dont have the time he deserves. All his tack goes with him. Serious enquiries only please. References needed and a buy back contract will need to be signed and a one week trial will make sure that you and him get along well, I dont want to see him jump to home to home and want a forever home for him, he has saved my life more than once during our many adventures and I am extremely upset to have to sell him. I can send you pictures via txt or email. Thanks for looking.
