Unfortunately, due to my level of experience, Jasper and I are not a good match. He needs an experienced rider that can give him the confidence he needs when out on a ride. Jasper is a sweet horse with beautiful blue eyes, nice mane, and tail with good bone & conformation. He loves attention and to be groomed. Cross ties well - stands for bathing, shots and farrier. Can get a bit nervous when hot shoed. Gets along with other horses. Loads, trailers and backs out nicely. Handles well on the lunge line and with groundwork. Will get flustered if you do not have clear communication on what you’re asking of him
Saddles quietly can ride in snaffle or leverage bit. Will side up to mounting block to mount. Picks up the W/T/L no problem. Originally was started in reining but never shown. Still has some of the moves but has not been maintained.
I have ridden him on the trails but due to my lack of confidence and experience to help with his confidence, our time out has out has been limited. He needs an experienced and confident rider or trainer to help him have more experience outside of the arena.
UTD on vaccines, feet, and dental, has front shoes only.
