Gabe is a phenominal first horse for entire family and has been trained and shown Pony Club horse so has all sort of buttons to push for an intermediate rider as well. He has years and years of riding and showing left in his extremely muscled body and strong bones. NEVER LAME......easy keeper, no shoes required ....very thick wall and great for trails as well. Last couple of years he has actually done some cow work on a 700 acre cattle ranch and he is a blast to ride. EXTREMELY comfortable...dependable....ride daily or let him be a horse for a month...hop on and he is as if you rode yesterday....forgiving in every way and a definite barn favorite. Perfect disposition with a willing brave heart. He is worth his weight in gold..........can't ever be replaced!!!!! Serious requiries only please, thank you for your interest.............perfect match only and no hurry to part with him...........like I said, he will not be replaced.
