Bertie !!! Always the barn favorite and full of personality- he is a 12-year-old Sorrel flaxen mane, trail Gelding standing at 15.1 hands high. Buyers often seek a comprehensive history on a horse and he has lots of experience in many things. Bertie has worked cows, roped, and shot guns off his back… that was when he was 3 and when I bought him 10 years ago off the Horse Bay! Bertie has Champion bloodlines in the show circuit too!.Since then Bertie has been a star in my personal trail horse. He walks out alone or with a pack of other horses. He is comfortable In pastures, city streets, deep woods with very narrow passages, and day trips for some fun trail rides. He loads and unloads like a champ. Bertie lives for his food and treats of Apples, carrots. He has always been sound and ready to ride. I have used a bosel, a soft bit, (or halter when I felt lazy…) I use legs more than hands but he is trained to neck rein or I just poke his neck and he turns! He can walk slower if he has to but he prefers to do his moderate walk. He has a solid walk, Gaited fox trot, and super smooth canter. I have been the only rider these last 10 years. But when I have stuck a person on his back… he just takes care of them.Over the past ten years with me, Bertie has been actively used for ponying young and young adult horses at our farm we sold a few years ago.Bertie has a super smooth gait, accommodating any rider and boosting confidence levels. He is an excellent choice for the entire family to ride and enjoy, with the ability to handle steep slopes, water crossings, downed trees, mud, and ditches. His easygoing nature extends to being easy to catch, clip, bathe, tack up, load, and handle.Bertie approaches every task with a positive attitude.Whether you’re an experienced rider or a beginner, Bertie is a horse that will win your heart. If you’re looking for a reliable riding partner and a good friend.He is currently located in Ali Monila, Arizona. Bertie is papered, I never did anything with them but filed them away because he is a gelding and I never planned on selling him. After three moves.I am selling my favorite horse of ALL time because I have a terrible back. I have a compression fracture, bulging disc and will need knee replacement surgery.I rode him twice a month and having a horse in Arizona is triple anywhere else. It takes me a week to recover from.I was not allowed to ride him due to my back/knee. These people literally just got on him and It will only be a walk and gaited trot. I cannot handle the canter right now. The people riding him are not fox trotting people.Bertie has so much to give. I want him to have a forever home with people who will adore and respect him as much as he deserves. Which he deserves a lot. He always gives me his best. Someone will be getting a darn nice horse and a good friend. He has made us all laugh many times.He is completely up to date on vaccines and I only worm him after doing a fecal ck.His teeth were floated in March
