4-year-old OTTB gelding is thoughtfully restarted and ready to find his new career. He is currently schooling walk, trot, canter with a soft, balanced rhythm, and automatic lead change. He shows excellent potential for hunters, dressage, or eventing. He has been started over fences. Current videos available.
A naturally good mover with an expressive trot and balanced canter. He has a wonderful disposition. He has a big shoulder and naturally uphill. Still going through some awkward growing stages. While still gaining weight and muscle after his restart, he is straightforward under saddle and has a relaxed, willing demeanor. He is more “whoa” than “go”, making him a pleasant and uncomplicated ride.
Personality-wise, this gelding is a true gentleman — kind, quiet, and exceptionally sensible for his age. He is safe around children, stands well for the farrier, and is easy to handle in the barn. His only quirk: not the biggest fan of the wash rack, or crossties, though he improves with each session.
This is an ideal young project for an amateur or professional seeking a safe, sweet, and athletic OTTB to develop for the show ring.
