Meet Tadpole, a 10-year-old black and white tobiano Spotted Saddle Horse gelding standing at 15.3 hands tall. He is an experienced, reliable mount that has been trail-ridden extensively all over Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and Florida. Riding & Performance: Tadpole walks quietly on a loose rein, collects up to hit a great slow 4-beat gait, or racks smooth as glass when you take hold of him. He also canters effortlessly, side-passes both ways, and backs up smoothly. He will ride anywhere in a group without hesitation. Work & Trail Versatility: He has worked in feedlots pushing cattle from pasture to pasture and loading trucks. He has led dogs, packed game, and tackled steep hills and deep water with ease, keeping his rider safe every step of the way. He is equally suited as a well-trained hunting mount or a family trail horse. Ground Manners & Camping: Stands great on a tie line during overnight camping trips, loads and unloads easily, and stands patiently for the farrier, clipping, and baths. Veterinary Inspection: Backed by an official medical record from Payton C. Clawson, DVM, dated March 10, 2026. The examination confirms normal physical systems (nose, throat, mouth/teeth, eyes, ears, coat, lymph nodes, nervous system, heart, lungs, GI tract, abdominals, urinary, and genitals), good dentition, and normal heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature. He was certified sound on all 4 hooves with a normal walk, trot, and gait.
