Right up front, folks, here are the key points in this long ad. Jazz has a low back, so he needs a light rider-saddle combination (150 lbs. or less) if he is to be ridden on long, rugged trails. Jazz is not overly spirited but is probably too forward moving for most beginners. He is good on the trails. He is fast walking and slow gaiting. If you want a pokey horse or a speed-racker, this is not the horse for you.

If you are still interested, here we go:
We don't have registration papers on Jazz but he has Tennessee Walker conformation, movement and temperament. He has a brisk walk, then can be set up to go into a slow, smooth gait. If pushed for speed, he will pace. An experienced gaited-horse rider/trainer might be able to increase Jazz's speed at a smooth gait and canter.

Jazz has been on many trail rides. He will go anywhere and crosses water. If startled by animals jumping out in front of him, he has always spooked in place--he has never wheeled, bolted, bucked or reared. Jazz rides out well alone, on the lead and is willing to follow.

Jazz is sound and is easy to catch, groom, saddle and handle. He loads nicely. Stands well for mounting, bathing, fly spray, the farrier and vaccinations. He has had Natural Horsemanship ground training. Jazz is sweet-natured with people and social with other horses.

Jazz has a low back. His topline does improve with conditioning and good nutrition. His back consistently checks out as being sound, not sore, after rides. However, our vet thinks Jazz would do best with a rider-saddle combination of 150 lbs. or less if taken on long rides, especially on rugged trails. I personally exceed that weight but I ride him for only two or three hours on easy trails. To accommodate the weight factor, I would sell my Trooper saddle (18" seat, English trail-riding style) that rigs out at about 20 lbs. with this horse for $200.

Jazz is healthy, has a current Coggins and had a dental on Feb. 18, 2025. His teeth need to be floated yearly. He has a slight teeth misalignment, which prevents his teeth from wearing evenly. This does not affect his eating or his health or his ability to wear a bit but it is something his new owner needs to be aware of. He is a dark chestnut in the winter, with a lighter summer coat.

I am very fond of Jazz and I want to find him a good home. I am selling this horse only because I have health issues, and my riding days are limited.
