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.

Previously my 10-year-old’s step-up horse, extremely patient and forgiving—he tolerated all the learning phases and helped her progress. He has a preferred bit that works well for him and will go with him.
Forest is the type of horse that builds confidence while allowing a rider to grow, all while remaining consistent and honest. Horses like this—safe, versatile, and truly youth-suitable with experience across multiple disciplines—are incredibly hard to come by.
