6 year old freeze branded mustang gelding. I have his papers. Greener than we thought and a little too much for my 13yo but should settle with regular riding and TRAINING. He LOVES the trail. I have another horse I need to focus on. Waylon is fun to ride, energetic, easy keeper, very sound, very smooth gaits. Came with a leverage bit that he hated. Once I moved him into a large D ring snaffle he never fought the bit again. Stands well for bit, saddle, mount and farrier. Not terribly fond of the hose but if he's not tied to a fixed rail and you just hold a lead rope he will tolerate a gentle hosing off. A bit flighty now but will settle with regular handling/riding. No kick, buck or any other bad habits. Can be bossy with other horses. He does like to jump and kick when turned out! Low x,xxx 3 k. VERY smart horse. He is GREEN. I would not recommend as a kid/beginner horse unless he and his not too young rider were in frequent lessons. My granddaughter has very little experience and she and Waylon were doing pretty well in lessons with my other horse's trainer. We just agreed she wanted an easier start with riding. I really enjoyed riding Waylon. Gliding trot and fun canter. Approved home only.
