Forest is the kind of horse that is hard to find—a true confidence-building partner that has already proven himself as a youth “teacher.” He has successfully brought my daughter along on the barrel pattern, and she has since moved on to a step-up horse. Standing 14.3 HH and just turned 15, Forest is the ideal size and age for a youth rider—experienced, seasoned, and dependable. Forest is the type that listens, stays with his rider, and allows them to learn correctly, making him an ideal match for a handy youth rider ready to progress. He is best suited for an advanced beginner to intermediate rider—not for teaching basic riding, but exceptional at developing a rider in new disciplines like barrels or poles. Currently, Forest is being roped on and has helped my son learn to head, though he is naturally better suited as a heel horse. He also comes with a cutting background, and his papers reflect both speed and cow sense, adding to his versatility. What truly sets Forest apart is his willingness and adaptability. He collects beautifully, has been ridden English, and genuinely enjoys English riding and jumping, making him a standout all-around horse capable of crossing disciplines with ease. ✔️ Proven youth “teacher” ✔️ Gentle, kind, and willing personality ✔️ Easy keeper, gets along with everyone ✔️ No maintenance – never injected ✔️ Safe, steady, and honest AQHA registered Located in Bakersfield, CA Mid to upper $XX,XXX ✔️ Tons of videos available ✔️ Stands tied (best with blocker/slide tie) ✔️ Loads (may prefer a buddy—easy with our method) ✔️ Bathes, stands great for farrier ✔️ No injuries, no lameness ✔️ No bad habits Previously my 10-year-old’s step-up horse, extremely patient and forgiving—he tolerated all the learning phases and helped her progress.

Horses like this—safe, versatile, and truly youth-suitable with experience across multiple disciplines—are incredibly hard to come by. PPE welcome at buyer’s expense. Serious inquiries only.
