- 16.1 hh 6-yr-old gelding - located in Archer, FL (near Gainesville) - easy keeper!! 🤩 Donnie is a big bodied OTTB, last raced in 2021. He has been lightly restarted in the basics, though not in any particular discipline. He has a great brain and is a perfect gentleman on the ground. Trailers like a champ, stands tied all day, bathes, clips, stands for farrier, etc. Still a bit green under saddle without a lot of buttons, but has never offered any buck, bolt, rear, or bad behavior. He would be a good match for an intermediate rider with a trainer or an advanced rider wanting to go in pretty much any direction. He has not been started over fences. He has a left front splint and a scar on right hind - both seem to be purely cosmetic and he has no known limitations. Currently barefoot. He does have some sensitivity to insects, but does fine with either a fly sheet or a stall with fan. Currently in pasture with a gelding, a mare, and a goat. Seems to get along with everyone. He eats hay and a mineral supplement - no grain, and keeps weight on beautifully. He has been ridden off property and handles it very well - gets a little anxious around groups of other horses but nothing unmanageable for an experienced rider. Overall, he is a truly lovely horse and a joy to have in the barn. Only selling because I have too many projects and not enough time.
