TALL, great mind, smooth, smokey black with gold glints

Jasper is a gorgeous smokey black gelding very easy to handle, respectful. Extensive trail experience - very sure footed, smooth, responsive. Ponied routinely as a 3 year old and lightly started that year, packing trail work tools and chairs into town for the local street dance. Also packed both with saddle panniers and Decker pack...highlines. Ridden in Marble Mountains and Trinity Alps Wilderness - crosses water and bridges. Loads himself in the trailer and backs out slowly and quietly. Stands still to mount both sides; ride with gaited or non-gaited horses He has a nice little extremely smooth foxtrot and a wonderful running walk, smooth canter. Very light in a snaffle, has had professional training. Beautiful feet, goes barefoot, . Never any buck, rear or kick. Long arched neck, great conformation. Consistent and up to date worming, hoof care, vaccinations and teeth. He will go when asked but is not a hyper guy; more laid back. He has a great personality and loves people and attention Used to dogs and wildlife on trail, can throw up jackets and slickers on him, gun proof! Life has been full of good experiences for this boy... photos range from age 3-6 California bred and born, never dealer owned. Email for links to gaiting videos.
