Looking for an eye-catching, “in your pocket” kind of riding partner? Look no further than this strapping, 8 y/o gelding, Spirit! Spirit is a 15-hand, grade buckskin quarter horse seeking an intermediate rider to continue bringing him along. He is kind, personable, and willing, and has had a variety of work experiences thus far. As a 5 year old he jumped crossrails in pony club with a teenager, and then took some time off when the teen went in a different direction. He is soft and willing in all his groundwork, and comfortable working with flags and ropes. Under saddle he is most familiar with arena work but is working on building confidence outside the arena. We have not revisited jumping, but he does enjoy working over groundpoles. Things that he will need continued work and guidance with are softness to the bit, responsiveness to leg aids, and bend. He has potential to go in so many different directions, discipline-wise. Can be ridden english or western, and goes well bitless. I've ridden him in a sidepull, bosel, and snaffle. Currently wears composite shoes, has mostly been barefoot.
