Moose is the second of 2 colts we purchased in March of 2024 after I lost my heart horse. I have found over the last 2ish years that my heart just isn't in this any longer, and I've decided to close the chapter of my life on horse ownership.
Moose is a coming 3 yo Buckskin gelding. He is unbroke, I prefer to wait until they're 4 before I start putting weight on them, however he has basic ground manners, stands for the farrier/vet, leads, ties - I haven't officially bathed him, but he's been fine with being hosed off.
He is smart, he is really agile and very athletic - obviously by his pics he's an easy keeper ;). I have tossed a saddle on here and there and lead him around, he is not bothered by the saddle, I've also leaned across and very gingerly sat on him bareback in the pasture, he was unsure but didn't overreact.
When we brought them home, I did some basic things you do with babies, desensitizing, leading, dragging a tarp and a noisy sled, just working with them in general. We entered a couple virtual in hand shows, in early 2025 he won a couple ribbons - he's sat since.
I took him out 1/10/26 to take some pictures and video and was pleasantly surprised at how well he did everything asked of him, after having done nothing but been a wild boy, growing and maturing mentally and physically. He is ready to go whatever way you want to go; he is a really nice horse, he's going to be a nice big, stout QH when he's done growing up and filling out.
