Rascal is a striking stout flashy horse with lots of chrome. He is 8 years old. I purchased him from the breeder as a 3 year old and trained him myself. He has excellent bloodlines, 87% heritage. He has been cross trained in trail riding, obstacle courses, worked on the rail and learned some dressage. He has been ridden on many organized trail rides, camped for 4-5 days at a time, and is fine in electric pens or stalled. He is attentive to his rider and his surroundings. Rascal is sure footed on rugged and slick terrain. Has been ridden in the mountains, on the flat and in the arena. He carries saddle bags and you can put on your rain gear while mounted. He has been exposed to farm equipment, 4 wheelers, traffic, dogs, and nearby hunters. Rascal stands quietly for mounting and dismounting trimming and the vet. He loads and hauls easily, parks out, neck reins, leg yields, turns on the forehand and the haunches. He loves to be groomed, clipped and bathed. He is very easy to catch and loves attention. He is barefoot and has excellent hooves. He is booted for rough terrain. He rides in a snaffle, curb or bitless. He prefers bitless. I am selling him only because we just built our small dream farm and have lots of projects to complete. I can barely keep 2 horses ridden, so I am searching for Rascal's new partner. He is a sweet horse and would be suitable for a confident intermediate rider. He will excel in a learning environment such as western dressage, competitive trail or similar.
