Meet (gorgeous) George 21yo 16 h QH out of zippo Pine bar. Excellent guard dog and eater of anything not nailed down. Very curious and wants to know about anything that is in your pockets. Is an excellent alpha in the mixed herd of 6 but does require an enforcer assistant to physically carry out his bidding. Loves to take naps w me in the field, although I must pre clean the ground for him and will occasionally allow me to brush,bath,groom and make him more beautiful than he already is. Very opinionated, so most everything will need to be negotiated w his approval initially, and when he is back in shape(ly), he enjoys the attention. I tried to enlighten him to the joys of the sport of dressage (training level). He was almost mildly amused. He is very aware of his surroundings so being able to redirect his attention is required. Will go western, english or bareback( think riding your living room couch) and is bitless (after he is back to work consistently). Very healthy , great feet. Easy keeper, forage based diet, UTD on vax, will need dental in the fall. Lives outside. I would say someone who is confident and good rider as you will need to "read the room" for a comfortable ride. Can sometimes be worried if riding off by himself too far from his fan club until a bond w you is formed. Looking for that human buddy that will love on him and make him feel appreciated. He has lived at my home for 12 yrs. He was a boarder's horse who was not able to him keep him. He is truly a great boy that needs a job. Will be selective to new home as he is a wonderful family member and he deserves someone equally wonderful. Recently lost his pasturemate so he is single. Located in South Lyon.
