Looking for a super gelding with potential in any direction? Zorro (JC Name: Chuckles) is your guy! I purchased him for an RRP prospect a few years ago and ended up pregnant and skipping the competition instead so he's been with me in inconsistent training since then. Zorro has such a fun, gregarious personality and he's really a joy to have around. He is an uncomplicated ride, nice big movement, floaty gaits, brave, malleable. I've dabbled him in several disciplines but have not specialized him in any so he's ready to go do what YOU want. I've taken him to schooling dressage shows, jumping shows, schooled XC, skijoring competitions, road riding, and casual trails. He's safe enough that I'll ride him with my 2yo daughter, but athletic enough to rise to the occasion. He is a very confident guy, not looky at all. Easy to bridle, saddle, and steps up to the mounting block. Can go from full gallop to walking on the buckle. He's a proper 17hh, no vanity sizing. Beautiful dark bay who shines up like a new penny in the summer. He loads and trailers without question, has good ground manners, ties, easy to vet and shoe. Limitations: I've tried to transition him barefoot a couple times and he doesn't take well to it. So I keep him in 4 shoes. He has a tendency to get sore in his SI area when he is unfit. He responds very well to chiropractic care and a balanced fitness plan. But new owner needs to be conscientious of this. He can be a bit bossy in the herd. Plays pretty physically with those who are up for it.
