Glencoe Finn, barn name Kevin, is a purebred, 7 year old, 19hh Clydesdale gelding. He is as sweet as he is gorgeous and absolutely loves people and attention. With his gentle expression, fluffy adorableness and puppydog personality, he melts every heart he connects with. He is friendly and kind to everyone he meets, whether it's people, other horses, children, dogs, or any other being.

Kevin is fun in the arena and amazing out on trails. He will go out alone or in a group and always gets along great with other horses when I ride with friends. Kevin also ponies well off other horses and is happy to pony other horses. He is a gentleman for the vet, in hand around the barn or out hiking. Kevin ties, bathes, trailers, and will stand for grooming and being fussed over for hours. With a solid foundation in place, Kevin is ready to find his forever person.

Kevin has a condition called stringhalt which affects his gait at the walk and when backing up. It is most evident when he first starts off from a standstill, improves as he continues to walk, and is virtually undetectable at the trot or canter. He acquired this condition in both hind legs as a 2 year old and was sent to the leading stringhalt surgeon in the country. The surgery was successful on the left hind but not on the right. While his condition does require some special accommodations in certain circumstances, like trimming his feet, he is very capable, and I have found him to be surefooted, trustworthy, willing, responsive, comfortable and truly fun to ride. It has not limited anything we have wanted to do with him and we just don't let his condition define him, and he certainly doesn't either!

Kevin initially came to us as a rehab/retrain project, but with his sweet demeanor and stunning looks, he stole our hearts so completely that I soon decided to keep him permanently. Unfortunately, my husband recently sustained a serious injury at work which is forcing him to retire earlier than planned. As a result, we need to downsize our herd, so we are slowly and very carefully starting to look for a wonderful forever home for Kevin. His new owner will be vetted closely, and a great fit and situation is a must. Kevin will do best with an experienced horse person. He will require an intermediate or better rider because of his size and age, and because he is still relatively green. We also highly prefer someone with draft experience who understands the extensive amount of time, effort and money that goes into keeping these gentle giants healthy and happy.

Kevin isn’t just another horse, he is a lifestyle. He is a BIG commitment in every way, but for the right person, it will be life altering--in the very best way. Please contact me for his sales video and further information at 775-691-0502.
