Registered Haflinger gelding (Sire is Alomar). "Attract" aka Chipper is 14.3 hands and 14 years old. I have owned him for 11 years. I am getting older (64) and my life circumstances have changed. So, it is with a heavy heart that I am offering him for sale. In the arena he has a good WTC. He knows his leads and voice commands. I have done some liberty work with him. He long lines beautifully! On the trails, I have ridden him mostly by himself on back country dirt roads. He will spook when he sees a "Boogeyman". I feel it would be best for him to be with someone who can ride with others as he gains confidence from other horses. He doesn't mind cars, trucks, bikes or dogs. I live on back country roads so he doesn't get exposed to a lot. He is not barn sour and goes out willingly. He does require some maintenance as this year he was off on his left front. I had radiographs taken and they showed some changes in his coffin bone area that don't involve the joint. Corrective shoes (flip flops) and one injection of depo medrol in the joint and he has been sound since. The pros: Chip has excellent ground manners, respects your space and knows voice commands. He self loads on trailer, clips, bath, farrier and vet with no fuss. If I were a better rider/trainer he would know so much more as he is smart and willing. He also has that humorous and loving personality of a haflinger. Located in Vermont.
