Bullseye – 13-Year-Old, 12.3 Hand - *THICK* Bay Haflinger Cross Gelding After 4 wonderful years as a staple in our intermediate lesson program, Bullseye is looking for a person to call his very own. We are sadly outgrowing him and need to find something larger for our program. ✨ The Highlights * The Build: Classic thick Haflinger cross. He is quite literally as wide as he is tall and takes up a rider's leg beautifully! * The Ride: He has an excellent attitude under saddle, is very smart, and has super comfortable gaits (canters like an absolute rocking horse!). He rides bareback just as easily and goes seamlessly English or Western. * The Job: A favorite for teaching advanced beginners on up! He regularly teaches kids here how to canter cross rails. He has no lead change, but he comes with an incredible set of brakes from any speed. * The Talent: Super cute jumper who comfortably navigates up to 2' courses. He has shown locally, easily travels, and makes a fantastic low-level eventing pony! * The Quirks: Lazy by trade! He goes nowhere fast and accepts a crop or spurs when asked to move out. He has no interest in teaching your very beginner. He is a smart pony that goes nowhere fast but can be strong to steer if you are a tiny tot. * The Fun: He has no spook and is game for any adventure! He loves water, will trail ride anywhere, and regularly swims in our pond. ## 📋 Ground Manners & Management Bullseye has no known health issues or maintenance. He is the exact same pony whether you ride him several days a week or let him sit out in the pasture for a few months. Hands down, the worst part about him are his ground manners. While he is not dangerous at all, this smart boy is pushy on the ground and requires a standard chain over his nose for easy handling. Under saddle, he requires a rider with "power steering" or he will gladly steer himself. He is a breeze to haul, bathe, and tie. Additionally, he would make an adorable driving pony! We do not have a cart for him here, but he was seen driving in person when purchased and happily drove right down the road. Bullseye is the ultimate fun, stocky, cheeky partner for an intermediate rider or family!
