Please visit lbequine.net for more info - I have run out of space to type here. If you love a SUPER personable horse with an honest, kind, BIG, and goofy personality…. You’ve found your horse.“Scoutin’ About” (as if his name couldn’t fit him any better) – is a 5 year old registered Gypsy Vanner X Haflinger cross gelding standing a very sturdy 14.1H. With feathered tree trunks for legs – this guy is not lacking any bone or substance.For all you avid trail riders out there, that love the “happy go lucky” kinda geldings out there- this one’s for you! This feather footed gelding has a heart the size of TX! Scout never says no – he is a “lets do it” kind of horse and is game for whatever obstacle, trail, job, or task you have in mind. He LOVES people & exploring new trails – and does it all with an A+ attitude! We have had the privilege to own & enjoy sweet Scout for the last 18 months. During this timeframe we have blazed the trails together, popped him over the cross-country jumps, hauled him to different arenas, taught him a few tricks, and dabbled into just about everything you could on one. He has been shown at some local events (formerly did some intro level dressage) natural horsemanship clinics, and obstacle challenge events. We camped & rode the Caprock Canyons in West TX & have hauled him all over the woods of East TX. In fact, we believe this gelding will thrive in a trail rider type home. Scout does best and thoroughly enjoys being the lead horse! With his ears perked forward he sets a fantastic pace and is always “on a mission” and is ready for any trail you want to explore! Scout is sure footed on any terrain – he lacks NO confidence out on the trail – and will safely get you across any water crossing, bridge, canyon, rough terrain, embankment, or gully. Seriously, this guy is like a mountain goat. He will pack the saddle bags – so crack open a cool one, pitch the reins away, and enjoy the ride. He has taken the trip downtown with us and handled riding in traffic with ease! We have swung a rope off him (quiet and unphased) and dragged the log around – showing excellent ranching potential. He carries the flag with honor, isn’t spooked by loud noises (you can shoot off him!), nor is he bothered by wildlife (deer commonly visit our property), dogs, tractors, atvs etc.
Scout neck reins/guides excellent on a loose rein – he has a ton of body control and will get gates, back anywhere you need him, and will easily maneuver around himself in tight spots on the trail. He collects in the bridle, rides on a loose rein, pivots, side passes, has a flying lead change, half passes, shoulder in, haunches out, crip walk, you name it… if he can’t do it-- he will be the best student in class and will learn it. This gelding has a ton of TRY and heart! Need to pony another horse off him? No problemo! He does not get upset if another horse rides up his tail/butt! This guy handles commo
