Charlie is a beautiful gelding, who is currently being ridden on trails and in the arena. Has a huge stride and is the smoothest horse you've even ridden. I believe he could go in any direction, including but not limited to a ranch riding, play day horse, English hunter under saddle or even dressage. He's been ridden out on trails and does great with down trees, water, but does need a rider that pays attention/ and could be ready if he sees something new. Not selling a seasoned trail horse, but has the ability to get there. My 72 year old mother was his main rider for the past two years and my non-horsey husband can also navigate him around the farm. He is sound, has great bone, and is currently barefoot, but would need shoes on the fronts to go out on the blacktop.
