"Thomas is a beautiful 15.3 (no shoes on) gelding. He excels in Western Riding, Horsemanship, Pleasure and Trail. He does lead--however he has never been taught the fine points of showmanship. Six years ago I quit showing due to life changes but up to that point he had qualified for the World in Jr Western Riding, Select Horsemanship. He has Open and Am ROM. I have raised, trained and shown Thomas exclusively. He will not take a heavy hand that jerks and spurs. He is very kind. He is cinchy when saddling. Thomas is basically ready to show now--no waiting. He would easily be maintained by a knowledgable Am or older youth. Thomas has good feet and had no corrective shoeing. He has never had any joint injections. He is such a good boy but my showing days are over--this guy is super special!!
