For Your Consideration:
EJM the Artful Waltz (Walter) is a 5 year old half Arabian half appendix gelding, located in Selby, SD. He stands at about 16.2 with room to grow. This gelding truly could be taken in any direction. It was my intention to take him into the dressage ring, but he's too much horse for me. He would make a fabulous jumper with his height and attitude.
This horse has amazing potential that can be utilized by an experienced handler. I am confident that he would be successful at the regional and national level undersaddle.
His dam's sire, Artful Move, is a multi AQHA world champion in hunter under saddle. Walter has the big stride of a hunter with the float of an Arab. One of my trainers said he's as smooth as butter to ride, and I believe it. His sire is LC Psulybration, a son of Padrons Psyche.
He has traveled to region 6 championships as a 3 year old and region 10 sport horse championships as a 4 year old. He has SHIH scores of 72% and could give even better scores now that he has some proper weight on his bones. He knows the basics of showmanship as well.
Walter has about 90 days of undersaddle training, however he still needs a lot of work and is only for an experienced handler. His main issue is mounting. He likes to scoot out from under people when mounting, but can be ridden walk/trot/canter if the rider/handler can get past that issue.
He did have to undergo OCD surgery earlier this year to protect his joints from developing arthritis, but is fully recovered 100% and is ready to work. He stands tied, bathes, stands for the farrier and self loads. Hes an absolute angel to handle on the ground. It breaks my heart to sell him but I can't utilize his potential. I would prefer for him to go to a show home, but will consider other options.
I am completely open and honest to answering any questions you may have. He is very reasonably priced in the mid/low x,xxx. I really just want him to go to a good home. He's ready to go with UTD coggins and vaccines. PPE is welcome at buyers expense. I will provide more current pictures/video upon request. Please PM me with questions.
