13-Year-Old Morgan/QH Gelding • 15hh • IHJA Registered • Show Experience • English/Western
Looking for the right home for this incredibly sweet and versatile 13-year-old Morgan/Quarter Horse gelding, approximately 15hh.
He is IHJA registered, has participated in shows, jumps, and can be ridden English or Western. He schools walk, trot and canter and is a willing, experienced horse who enjoys having a job. He’s currently working on Saddleseat training too!
He has a calm, personable disposition and wonderful ground manners. He comes to me in the pasture, takes treats gently, loads and trailers well, stands nicely for the farrier, and is respectful and easy for the veterinarian. He is a loving horse who recognizes his owner. He puts his head close and likes kisses. He lets you brush him all over.
He is also comfortable around other horses and will stand and wait patiently with the group. He would be considered lower in the packing order for sure. He’s a horse in the pasture who finds another nice buddy and stays out of the way of the bigger or dominant horses.

* 13-year-old gelding

Rider suitability: He was represented to me as a beginner horse when I purchased him. Based on my own experience, I would not consider him appropriate for a young child or an absolute beginner. I believe he would be best suited to a confident beginner working with a trainer through an intermediate rider. My 10 year old son has been riding for only a few months and can ride him and control him without difficulty. My 7 year old is small and cautious, and he takes advantage of her. This is why I am selling him.
Full disclosure: He is a little underweight, and is on a weight-gain program and gaining steadily. He has been evaluated by our veterinarian and is up to date on his routine care. His top line is almost back to normal for his breed. He is slightly over the knee, but multiple trainers and riders and the vet have said it’s not affecting his soundness. I have plenty of pictures and videos!
Current and previous riding/show photos and videos available. Prospective buyers are welcome to come meet and ride him. PPE welcome at buyer’s expense.

A good, appropriate home is very important. This is athletic course with a high metabolism who will need a lot of time being turned out and foraging as well as a go
