Here's your opportunity to own a very rare Heck Tarpan horse from the Dixie Meadows Tarpan horse farm in Virginia. There are less than 100 tarpan horses in the United states today. He ran wild in the Dixie Meadows herd for 8 years when he was then gelded and brought into captivity. I have owned him since August 2019, when I got him you could halter him and get him from point a to point b but that was about it. He now leads, lunges, stands tied all day, enjoys grooming, takes english or western saddle and bridle, accepts a hose and clippers, is used to dogs, loads on a trailer and has been ground driven and ponied on trails. Utd on shots, coggins, and dental. He has only ever seen a farrier 1 time as these tarpan horses have very solid feet that take care of themselves. He stood great for the farrier. I have been on him in the round pen walk trot and canter although he still has some nerves about humans and gets a little worried while you're on his back. I think he would make a great cart horse as he has a big heart and will try for you, he just gets concerned when you're on his back. Dont miss out on this unique opportunity to call a very rare horse your own. Available to an excellent home only, this is a special horse who deserves a special forever homeRead more
