Additional Comments:
Chess is a sweet, sound, dead quiet Thoroughbred gelding. An ex-show hunter who had a very successful career and has spent the last two years leased at a riding camp where he gave lessons to green as grass beginners.
He would be great in a lesson barn, as a first horse for children or adults or as trail horse for the rest of his life. Wonderful for beginners and re-riders plus is very fun to ride for the more experienced. He can still jump and is a great confidence builder for the timid rider. Still very sound after all these years and is kept on very cheap/low maintenance. Perfect for shots, farrier, vets, baths, loading, trailering, tying, etc. Up to date on shots and feet and ready to go to new home now.
Chess was brought home completely emaciated with a BCS of Zero and it has been a long five months getting him back to condition. He still has more he could use to gain for his size but we have him officially out of the woods and ready to find him the right home. This horse owes no one anything and I am going to make sure he never gets put under irresponsible care again. You can NOT put a price on how much training this horse has had plus his added temperament of gold. So please serious inquiries only. Price very negotiable to the right home.
