He’s been ridden extensively in New York, Pennsylvania and spent 2 months over the summer in Idaho and Montana riding their scenic trails!
Owner says she rode Bourbon for around 300 miles this past summer wonderfully, but did get 2 pressure sores on each side of his withers which you can see in his video.
She changed her saddle 3 times but it’s about gone just needs to grow hair back on them.
If you like riding western owner has trained him to walk trot canter plus he neck reins like a dream and does have a nice slower gait!
Bourbon gets along nicely in a group, will lead, go in the middle or follow, he's been used to pony other horse's and has packed gear/chainsaw for trail clearing!
Bourbon is familiar with the wildlife on the trails and he doesn’t overreact if he sees something new.
He’ll go through water, mud, over logs and steep terrains!
He's gentle, loves attention and has been trained right by his owner!
Owner lets her friends ride Bourbon also just so he’s use to different riders.
He does need to be on smaller pastures with limited access to lush grass because he is an easy keeper!
He did have a bout with his insulin level getting spiking once so his owner limits his grass intake but also keeps him on Insulin Wise as a precaution even though his sugar level is in line now so it will be up to his new owner whether or not to keep him on it or keep him off lush grass.
She says he’s sound and she welcomes a PPE!
Bourbon is up to date on everything.
Vaccines “6 way + Lyme”, worming, teeth floated, massage, feet and coggins.
Watch his video to see what a wonderful horse he really is!
