Additional Comments:
Checkers is a 9 year old papered/registered STANDARDBRED. Our 8 year old daughter has been his primary rider. He is best suited for English/hunter hack and jumping. He has been taking lessons weekly with Miller learning barrels, poles, flags and speed events as well as rail classes and jumping. He has been taken to local horse shows and has brought ribbons home everytime! His previous owner used him for english, hunter hack and he has had some dressage training. He has experience in jumping and has been taken to shows to jump. His first years were spent pleasure driving. He is just an all around good horse.
Checkers is a easy keeper. He is healthy and has a shiney coat with beautiful black mane and tail. He has good feet. He has had all his shots including 5 and 1, west nile and rabies. He just saw the equine dentist last month and had his teeth floated. he is on a rotational wormer every 8 weeks.
Checkers can be seen in Milan TN. He will only be sold to the very best home and I would want to be able to keep up with him by email updates. He is like a family member.
Checkers is five gaited since he is a standardbred. He is a very fast horse... he keeps up with our off the track Thoroughbred. I would say an intermediate child rider would be best. If your child has never sat on the back of a horse before, Checkers might be too much for him or her. He won't run off or act ugly, but he can go if you ask him to!
