Sinbad is a 12 yo grade spotted draft gelding with one eye. Missing eye doesn't bother him. Stands about 16hh. Broke to ride and drive. Used at a kids camp toting around beginners all summer. Direct reins, but isn't heavy in the bridle. More whoa than go. Very straightforward. Perfect beer drinking trail horse. Crosses what's in front of him. Leads, loads, ties, bathes, has good feet and doesn't need stocks for the farrier. Pretty solid WT, will canter if you're really determined. Favorite speed is slow. Fine with kids climbing on him, dogs, traffic, farm equipment, ATVs, etc. Not much bothers him. In-your-pocket type, loves head snuggles and pretty much every other form of attention. Lower in pecking order. Easy keeper. UTD on all cares. Missing eye bothers some people and is reflected in price, but you wouldn't notice it at all in the way he handles or behaves.
