Looking for the right match. 8 year old 16.2h Trakehner gelding. Selling/rehoming as a rehab/companion project. He developed a left front leg lameness last fall. We performed extensive diagnostics with no major findings. Put him out to pasture for 4 months. Front shoes put on in January and gradually started working him again, slowly increasing the level of work. He remained sound but then started back into heavier work two weeks ago and unfortunately is off again.
Prior to lameness he was showing training level dressage with older amateur owner, scores in the 60s-70s. Schooling first and some second level movements. In your pocket personality. Loves his people, gets along well with other geldings, stands in cross ties, good for farrier and vet, trailers well, easy keeper.
I would like to see him go to someone that can turn him out for six months to a year and hopefully return to soundness. He would be happy just being lightly ridden a couple times a week. Or even just spending time with you. He’s very smart and would probably do well with learning tricks or groundwork exercises. I am unable to keep him but want him to find a good home and will be picky about where he goes.
Happy to share all veterinary reports and diagnostics. Will entertain all offers to the right situation.
