Detour is a 5 year old, 12.3 hand pony gelding, that has had an amazing start in life with some of the best training you can hope for in a pony or even a full sized horse. He was started on a ranch by a professional young cowboy where he learned to work for a living and never say no. He has pulled calves to the branding fire, moved steers and been rode in big open country. He then took his "detour" into the English world and has been learning how to be a great jumping pony. He has plenty of scope to have a career there as well. This pony can neck rein, takes both leads, is great for the farrier; he is currently barefoot but has been in a full set of shoes in the past. He trailer loads like a pro, stands in cross ties or tied to a fence or trailer and is not spooky under saddle. He can be hauled to new places and go straight to work. This pony will do great in a program, or in a family with horse savvy parents. He has been around kids, but he is not ready to babysit beginner feral children. At 5 years old he still needs to be treated with the respect of a pony in training even though he has excellent training and rides better than most full sized horses he still needs a quiet and respectful rider. If your child is in lessons and learning he can work as long as they are under the direction and supervision of a professional or seasoned horse person. He also would be great for a horse savvy kid who has outgrown their first beginner horse or pony. Please PM for more info. Located near Three Forks, MT.
