Ricky's Lass is 11 yr Old, 16.1 H. Chestnut TB Gelding

Ricky's Lass is an 11 year old, 16.1 hand, chestnut (has scattered white hairs over entire body) gelding.

He is sound and has never been lame in the three years we have had him.

We got him about 3 years ago and have been using him as a walk-trot trail horse. We have taken him to Gettysburg battlefield and regularly trail ride through Potapsco State Park.

He is pokey walking out on the trails, but is nervous and as a result becomes a little excited coming home. His owner is 61 and a timid rider with a bad back who needs a quieter (bomb proof) horse.

Ricky has been a perfect gentleman when ridden in the ring at the farm and has even given pony rides to kids with no problems. We haven't schooled him over jumps, but he has willingly jumped logs on the trail and cross-rails in the ring. We think Ricky would do better in a home with a confident rider and consistant ring work to bring out his potential. No beginners, experienced riders only please!

Ricky loves to be groomed on especially his face. He wants to be someones loving pet. He is a loved member of our family and a wonderful horse, but sadly, just too much horse for us. For this reason we are offering him to a loving approved home. We would prefer he stay in the Maryland area so we can keep in touch.

He had a lateral condyle fracture as a 2 year old in training and had 3 screws placed in the leg. After the fracture repair, he raced about a half dozen times as a 3 year old. He was too slow to keep in training, so he was retired.

He is located in Ellicott City, Maryland. Please contact me for more information by e-mail. Offered for 150 donation to Thoroughbred Placement and Rescue, Inc.
