Heart is my very last t.b. to be raised on the ranch. Love him but im not using the horse and he deserves his person. I've only rode one horse in my life as smooth as this one ,he came in second for Shiek Mohammed in Dubai 100 mile endurance race. My point is I have swung my leg over 100's of horses and only 2 in my life have rode like this. Smooth.
We have mainly trail rode ,crosses water ,creek, bridges. Stands in hotwire, good in herd or separate. Stalled in winter . Ties ,good with hooves ,trailers etc .
Would absolutely Excell in dressage as he's super sensitive to cues . Picks up on things quickly and tries to do it right. He's never offered to buck ,rear or do anything stupid . However I am not marketing him to children. I want him with a adult. When I started him at 3 he was sidepassing ride #3 ,pulling a tarp etc . Just a good kid whatever you wanted he tried to do it .
He's currently in the barn being ridden when I have time ,he's sat for years and rode off like yesterday.
Knows voice commands, I have free jumped him but not rode him over a jump . I broke my foot and ankle a year back and rebroke it several times nothing to do with horses. A pallet jumping off hay took me out lol.
So to mount I been using a chair he stands patiently.
I think he'd Excell in dressage or jumping .love him but I'm not using the horse. Waste of a very nice animal. Send pics and updates. Looking for his success story.
