This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. I'm 18 and leaving for college out of state in just a few weeks. As much as I don't want to sell him, I know he deserves someone who has the time to continue working with him and give him the future he deserves.

I am his third owner and have owned him for the past four years. I rescued him after he had been retired to pasture, and we've built an incredible partnership together. Last year I suffered an injury that kept me from riding, so he spent about a year in pasture. When I returned to riding this January, he understandably needed a refresher getting back into work.
Since May, he has been in professional training at Oak Creek Training Stables, working multiple times each week with a trainer. He has made incredible progress and continues to improve every week. He is completely rideable and just needs an experienced rider to continue bringing him along.
About Him:
• Sweet, kind personality that loves people and other horses
• Not spooky
• High energy but settles nicely with consistent work
• Learns quickly
• Previous jumping experience (will be adding some videos)
• Extensive trail riding experience
• I was working toward making him a three day event horse and truly believe he would excel in cross country
• Easy to trailer
• Free lunges
• Good with kids, dogs, and other animals
• Stands quietly for the farrier and veterinarian
• Cross ties, bathes, and handles well
• Sound
• Shod on all four feet
• Teeth floated and annual vaccinations completed February 26
• Maintained on a regular deworming schedule
He has so much potential and has already come such a long way. He would do best with an experienced rider who can continue his training and help him reach his full potential.
Tack is not included, but I am willing to sell it separately. I have a complete list of tack available upon request.
Finding him the right home is my highest priority. Serious buyers are welcome to schedule a time to meet him and take a test ride. I would be open to lease possibilities as well as long as I could spend time with him when I was home from school.
