Jasper-
Meet Jasper! Jasper is an 8 year old 14.1 arabian x gelding. Jasper spent most his life as a trail
horse and has recently come into my dressage program to get more formal training. This pony is SO cool!! He’s forward thinking, with three ground covering, comfortable gaits that truly ride like a horse. He does not have that short, choppy stride that a lot of pony’s do. He has a super easy going personality and is cute as a button, so has quickly earned his way as a farm favorite.
I’d love to find an average sized adult (under 180lbs) or confident teenager to ride him 2-3 days a week. This pony has taken everything we have thrown at him with grace- from his first time in an indoor, to his first time being clipped. He is extremely brave and has not offered any spook at all.
When he arrived he had a bit of a herd sour issue, so he can get a little distracted in the arena when there’s another horse in there with him. Jasper naturally wants to go forward and stride out, but quickly will settle into a comfortable tempo when he understands his rider is adamant about keeping a specific pace. He is currently learning how to find a longitudinal balance with a rider, so is not super consistent in the connection yet but is improving with every ride!
This pony has no bolt, rear, buck or spook. He has all the attributes to become a solid babysitter, however he is still very green broke. He would do best with an intermediate+ rider at this time due to his greenness. I believe he could also be well suited for a confident novice rider that is willing to continue with weekly lessons.
Jasper will go out on trails, ride inside or outside and is currently learning how to jump. He has a perfect rhythmic canter that makes finding any distance feel effortless.
This lease does require lessons ($70/45 minute private). Experienced Adults can choose between weekly or bi-weekly lessons, minors are required to take weekly lessons. Lease price is $450 for two rides per week. Though we haven’t had him long, so we aren’t sure what he is like off property, I do believe he has all the attributes to be a great show pony down the line so for the right rider, local showing options are available but not mandatory. Options to participate in hunter paces, organized trail rides etc. also available for the right candidate! This guy will absolutely hold his own to keep up with horses during these events.

our farm boasts a beautiful indoor, outdoor, roundpen, and some trails accessible from the property. We do have a heated restroom as well.
