If you have been looking for a young horse with an exceptional mind, look no further. This 4-year-old chestnut Appendix gelding is wise beyond his years. We are taking our time with him to let him mature physically, but he already has a solid foundation on the ground and is walking and trotting under saddle right now (with cantering ready to be added in the coming weeks). He boasts a true "more whoa than go" brain that is so hard to find in a youngster.
Under Saddle & Groundwork:
Walk and trot established under saddle; beautifully started and taking his time to mature right.
Extensively ground-driven and long-lined.
Has a gorgeous, floaty lope on the ground that will easily translate under saddle!
Sensible, point-and-go attitude—he does not rush and prefers to take things in stride.
No buck, bolt, or rear.
Handling & Vet/Farrier:
He is an absolute gentleman for routine care and a dream for the vet and farrier:
Stands quietly for the farrier.
Perfect for the vet (great for vaccines and blood draws).
Dentistry bonus: Allows a power float with no sedation needed!
Personality & Turnout:
Impeccable ground manners.
Easy keeper in a mixed herd—gets along wonderfully with everyone, whether geldings or mares, high or low in the pecking order.
Whether you want to finish him out for local all-around shows, 4-H, or a dependable weekend trail mount, his clean slate and unflappable temperament make him an incredible prospect for an amateur or professional to take in any direction.
