This is an incredible horse. He was captured at around 7 years old and gentled by one of the most talented trainers I’ve ever met. He is bold, intelligent, kind, and has impeccable ground manners. He was started under saddle last summer and did extremely well, but due to things happening in my life I didn’t have the time to continue working him regularly, so he’s been a pasture ornament since then. He will require a patient, experienced handler- he needs time to build trust. He is incredibly intelligent and genuinely enjoys being with people, whether it’s working or just sitting in his pasture. He has lived across a hot tape fence from geldings and mares, he’s polite and respectful of fences so it’s never been an issue. He has also been turned out with geldings and done just fine. He’s amazing with dogs and kids on the ground, and has never offered to kick or bite. He is important to his breed genetically, and could make an incredible riding horse for the right person- he would make a really nice endurance prospect- this guy is built for the long hauls. I would have given my right arm for a horse like this 20 years ago, but life has happened and I’m am not in a position to give him the time he needs to make him rideable, and I don’t have space to bring home another ready-to-go riding horse unless I find a home for Toro. If you’ve read this far, you probably have questions- I’m happy to answer anything & can send more pics/videos.
