Smarty is an 8 y/o GREENBROKE gelding who is looking for his next new home. He is not a horse for an inexperienced rider/first time horse owner due to him being green and needing miles. He is on the slow legged end of the spectrum, not a rodeo type horse. Smarty excels in experienced, confident hands. Selling due to getting out of horses, no fault of his own. I haven't had time over the past few years to do anything with Smarty, life circumstances changed and so I'm looking for a good home for him. He has just been hanging out, no work/riding at all, seriously interested person understands that he needs time spent on groundwork (he's easy to handle, hauls well, etc.) prior to being rode, at least a couple weeks refresher of getting him used to saddling, etc., again prior to being rode. No pre-purchase rides will be allowed because of the fact that he is green and hasn't had a rider on him in a few years. Please do not ask. Any potential buyer is welcome to spend time working with him in my home arena though, I highly encourage it. He is a willing horse, not mean spirited. He is sane and very trainable. He is a bit busy minded so would do well with a job. His favorite thing to do is getting out and about to see the sites, either just hand walking or riding. He does not have a ton of time on the trails, again, consider him green and would need more exposure, sweaty saddle pads and time but I feel he would excel as someone's trail riding partner. Smarty has always been stalled at night and respects fencing (mine is wood, no hot wire). He did have a mild laminitic episode late last summer/fall; he was shod for comfort and treated per vet recommendations. He is currently sound but cannot be tossed out on green grass. Current x-rays of his hooves in hand and will only share with serious inquiry only. The vet has cleared him for work! No sale to horse flippers. I will not sell him to anyone who is not willing to come meet him in person. A great home is a must!!! Not selling him just to offload him, I care about him a great deal and care where he ends up. He has a solid foundation to build upon, just needs experienced hands or legged up by a professional. Smarty is being offered for $6500.00 obo. Serious inquiries only please.
