Purchased Klaatu, two and a half years ago. He raced 18 races, mostly a mile long, and won quite a bit. After racing, he became a pony horse, which is one of the main reasons I chose him to buy. Figured if he was sane enough to be a pony horse, he would likely be easy enough to train for jumpers and dressage. Worked on teaching him his dressage basics, then added in some low jumps into his routine.

Leased him out for 6 months to a H/J barn. While there, he also did lots of trial rides, so I was told.

When he came back from his lease, his education in dressage and jumping continued. I believe in taking my time, jumping over low jumps, until they are pretty experienced at that. So he was jumped up to 2'10". I think he is likely very scopey, and will be able to jump decent size jumps. Just have not tried. He seems to jump better over the larger ones. Appears to really enjoy jumping. He is handy.

I'm old, and have too many horses for me to ride every day. Which is why I am offering Klaatu for sale. Or for lease. Off-site is fine. Off-site feed lease to be considered if he gets lots of show miles.

Western video is from around a year ago. What can't be seen in the video, is the neighbors' immense herd of cows is right next to arena fence. Many of the horses at the barn have a real problem with the moving in mass, and mooing cows, right next to arena fence. Klaatu is fine with the cows. And the goats.
