Chulo is the horse that I cannot seem to retire. I have tried so many times over the last few years to let him be a pasture pet and he just isn't having it. Chulo loves to compete, he loves trail rides, and he loves having a job; he gets grumpy if I don't have him in some sort of routine. Although he can be spirited, he could do well as a kids horse (I have taught little kids on him before and he's a saint), so long as he is in a home where there is an experienced adult. He is not a beginner's horse.

The good:
He's sound and needs very little maintenance (and by little, I mean he needs cookies and a job)
Barefoot (does okay in front shoes but does not currently have them)
Gets fat off air/easy keeper
Loves everyone and does not have a mean bone in his body
Will ride out on his own or in a group
Not spooky (but not bomb-proof, either)
Not reactive
Loves trail rides, can go English or Western, has competed successfully through 2nd level dressage, has schooled jumping and XC, and has competed in working equitation
Same horse at the show, on the trail, and at home
Has no problems with cars, bikes, motorcycles, trampolines, flags, farm machinery, dogs, etc.
Great for the farrier and the vet
Hauls & bathes like a champ
Does not destroy fencing, blankets, or stalls
No cribbing/wind sucking
Does fine on grass; no foundering issues
Can live happily in a stall w/run or on 24/7 pasture

The bad:
Can be pushy on the ground
Will not stand still
Colicked twice last summer, but no issues since then
Does not like other horses in his space/does better in a pasture by himself
Dominant horse in a herd

I'm looking for someone who wants to do a care lease, as I just don't have the time to ride and be with him as much as I wish I could be. He would do well somewhere where he is regularly ridden/somewhere where he is in a lesson or training program.
