"Blue" is a 20 year old American Saddlebred with alot of life left. He has been an amazing mount throughout my 2009 show season. However, I feel that he would be much happier as a leason horse. He LOVES all the attention from younger children. He is five gaited but had not been shown in five gaited classes since I got him. He would much rather do three gaited. Although he is very large i'm pretty sure he size is due to his big giving heart. I have never had a single problem out of Blue: no vices what so ever. He would make a great country pleasure horse for a first or second year rider. He is super easy going and willing to please. I use all copper bits and the lightest of aides. I've put children as young as 7 on Blue and the packs them around like a champ. I have also used him in a summer camp with kids that have never even ridden saddleseat. I will be very sad to see Blue go, but I am a college student and money is very tight. Please call 434-547-7991
