Fonzy is a very pretty, uniquely colored, sorrel and white spotted, unregistered TWH gelding. Fonzy was foaled in the late summer of 2022 and will be turning 4 years old this year. This young man has really been growing up and is currently standing a solid 15.3 hands tall and as this fella continues to mature and start filling out, he is really going to make someone a BIG, solid mount. Fonzy was not one of our horses we had anticipated on selling this year, however one of our planned horses came up with an injury and instead of rushing that situation, we decided that Fonzy would make a perfect replacement to be offered! Fonzy has the most amazing personality you could ever ask for on a young gelding and is safe enough for nearly any level rider. He is extremely gentle, loves affection, is easy to handle, and very easy to catch. Fonzy has an amazing start to his riding career and has been brought along slowly and not rushed. He stands tied, stands great for the farrier, tacking, grooming, bathing, clipping, and mounting. He is the kind of young gelding that has a calm demeanor and is always trying to please his rider which has made training with him really rather simple. Fonzy will walk off calmly and relaxed on a loose rein, will collect up nicely, has a good headset, an amazingly smooth walk and running walk, and will really nod his head with rhythm and get to flopping his ears! Fonzy has even started cantering and while he is still learning some technicalities with body mechanics, he is doing amazing with it! I want to brag on Fonzy’s gait for just a moment as he already stays very consistent, stays square, and has a gait you can ride all day without any feeling of discomfort. Fonzy has also already started neck reining, has a great stop, backs, and is side passing! All the typical things we teach all the horses that go through our training program. Fonzy is currently learning to side pass over to obstacles to pick up his rider for easy mounting on the trails and has been through endless hours of desensitization with all kinds of things that could possibly be scary such as balls, tarps, plastic bags, flags, inflatable tube men, leaf blowers, etc. Fonzy has even been exposed to intentional gun fire making him a great field trial/hunting prospect. Fonzy has experience navigating trails and is so willing, he will go wherever you ask him, navigates steep grades, does not hesitate at crossing water, goes over down timber, follows the trails well, and does a good job watching his foot placement when the trails get tricky. He is also use to riding down the gravel and county roads, is 100% traffic safe, is use to riding around 4 wheelers, UTVs, and various types of farm machinery. While out riding, Fonzy will ride out alone or with a group. When in a group, he does not mind if he is in the front, middle, or the back of the pack. He does mind packing saddle bags and will also ride bareback without any concern.
