Gentle -- Good Ground Manners: Safe for anyone to handle on the ground -- Likes attention -- Aims to Please -- Wonderful disposition -- Large, Soft & Kind Eye
Born on my farm -- complete history -- including an injury from a fall in the pasture that I witnessed:
Not just a pasture pet -- Lunges -- Started Under Saddle: Has been saddled & sat on -- Quiet -- Would be Appropriate for use as a trail horse, therapeutic riding horse, even appropriate for small shows
Not just a boring bay -- unique Connemara Breed -- perfect height for small adults -- large enough to tote anybody around -- Very Strong Build
After a fall in the pasture, Murphy has Stiffness in left rear leg that is isolated to the upper leg. The severity varies with activity. It is less noticeable when he is turned out. And more apparent if he stalled for several days in a row.
Many days, he doesn't show the slightest hint of any soreness. Some days he demonstrates very mild lameness.
DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY special medication.
Easy keeper. Friendly. Smart.
Entertaining to watch in the pasture.
Murphy is motivated to please. The ideal person for leasing Murphy is someone that wants to bond closely with a very smart horse. A person that is willing to spend the time to continue his training will be able to enjoy light trail rides and/or small shows.
Murphy is also a natural entertainer. He would make a great trick horse.
