Archie is an Exceptional All-Around Gelding with Jump, Movement & Mind!
If you’re looking for a versatile, talented partner with a wonderful temperament, this gelding checks all the boxes. He is an athletic jumper with beautiful, flowing movement and the kind of brain that makes him a joy to ride every day.
He has been schooled cross-country up to 3’ and shows all the potential to easily climb the levels. His smooth, ground covering trot and effortless canter are suitable for the Hunter ring, while his natural self-carriage and balanced gaits make him a strong prospect for dressage as well.
Archie is truly an all-around ride — he goes English, Western, bareback, double, bridle-less, and is also exceptionally well broke to drive. He drives quietly and correctly in the arena, is confident down the trails, and is traffic safe on the road, making him a rare and valuable find for someone wanting both riding and driving versatility.
He would also excel as a fox hunting mount, as he is brave, comfortable, and confident out on the trails and in new environments.
Archie is just as comfortable in Western Tack and easily negotiates all obstacles we have thrown his way, including bridges, teeter totter’s, and water. He is a real joy to trail ride and has experience riding all over outside from the snow drifts in Iowa to the beaches of Florida.
On the ground, he is an absolute pleasure to be around. He has excellent manners, stands tied patiently in cross ties, on a hitching rail, or at the trailer, and is easy to groom, tack, and handle in any setting. He loads and unloads effortlessly in any type of trailer. He requires absolutely zero maintenance, is 100% sound in every way, and is the kind of horse you never have to worry about. He is healthy and up-to-date on all vaccinations and dental. He’s an easy keeper and is happy in a stall or in a pasture. He gets along well turned out with any group of horses.
Overall, he is a very amateur-friendly horse suitable for a wide range of riders and disciplines, while still offering the talent, scope, and quality to keep with a competitive rider.
Whether you’re looking for a competitive partner, a fun and safe all-around horse, or a future star with room to grow, this gelding has the talent, temperament, and versatility to excel.
