Dash is an 8-year-old, 16hh Friesian (3/4) x Paint (1/4) gelding that we've owned since he was a yearling. He rides English or western, has tons of trail miles, great in traffic, water, has been to the beach, swims, can swing a rope off him great around cattle and crossing bridges no problem. Dash is incredibly quiet and would be perfect husband, kid, or grandma horse. He is more whoa than go and will only go as fast as you ask him.
His ground manners are impeccable. He self-loads, stands quietly tied all day, clips without fuss and is excellent for the farrier. Stands like a gentleman at the mounting block.
He has also been to local jumper and CT shows and needs zero prep. He has schooled up to training. He is the same horse ANYWHERE you bring him.
He has hunted with Deep Run Hunt and Princess Anne hunt and is happiest in third field or hilltopping.
He would do well with someone who enjoys a little bit of everything; trail riding, hunter paces, show jumping, and cross-country. But with how calm and quiet he is he would alao be completely content with a timid rider that just wants to walk/trot trail ride.
Dash’s ride can be described as a wonderful balance of responsiveness and reliability. He goes willingly off your leg without being overly sensitive and has an excellent "whoa" when asked. He never puts a foot wrong and is always a good sport, happily trying whatever you ask of him.
