2019 Roan Gelding

I have finally accepted the fact that this horse is not a good match for what I need at this time in my life. Drifter is a nicely bred coming 5 year old 14.3hh roan gelding. Drifter needs a confident and experienced rider who wants to use him every day- he is not a hop on and go kind of guy and with my work schedule I don’t have the time he needs.

Pros- Drifter loads and hauls well, bathes, stands for the farrier, saddles, ground ties and has excellent ground manners. Easy keeper and low man on the totem pole. Teeth done 1 year ago and UTD on all vaccines.

Cons- Drifter can be reactive and needs a calm, experienced hand. This horse is NOT a bucker, he IS however a taker-offer. He will have periods of doing very well and then will have times where he will bolt when overwhelmed- I attribute part of this to my lack of time to be consistent with him.
He can also be a little hard to catch at first, once he bonds with you and he’s being worked consistently he is fine.

Drifter needs his own person and he needs a consistent job. Has been at a trainers since the beginning of January for a refresher.
