Rolo is seeking his final life partner. He’s sound, baroque built, black bay with gorgeous dappling and tough feet.

Rolo is a project horse that has loads of potential with the right horseman. Just needs time, consistency, and miles. He is well started, but not finished and needs someone that wants to advance him. Or someone that wants to partner up with a trainer to finish him the direction they want to go.

I bought him in May 2022. Our learning curve has been steep in groundwork and horsemanship skills, because these essential building blocks were missing. He reared with me a couple times under saddle, but has had clean rides and has shown growth and improvement through consistent groundwork and riding. Now he seeks someone to continue him on this upward trajectory. He is very busy and smart, so may take advantage of novices or children. Much like a mule, he has attacked dogs and smaller livestock when they are in his corral or near his feed. Otherwise, he likes other horses and may horse play initially when turned out together, but grazing always takes precedence. Horses have been successfully ponied off of him.

Rolo is very curious, clever, and has loads of potential at trail and mountain trail courses. Loves water, bridges, and any obstacle you put in front of him. He boldly goes wherever you point his nose. Has potential at working equitation. Has more whoa than go in the arena, but walks out boldly on the trail. He even out paced a 16.2 hh Irish warmblood while being very smooth-gaited under saddle. Backs and stops well. Hind-end engagement, self carriage, and transitions continue to improve with conditioning and training, but still need work. Stands tied to, loads and hauls in a trailer well.

Barefoot trimmed every 8 weeks. Has tough excellent hooves. Annual dental floats, last done on Sept 20th. The vet said he has great dental conformation and a balanced bite.

He is UTD and ready to go!
Located in Ellensburg, WA.

Asking $5500 as is.
Price will go up if I put him in training early 2024.

Only serious inquiries please.
