For Sale: He is ready to be trained your way! He has been ridden in the round pen now and he has been bitted, saddled and sacked out. He was VERY calm no matter what I tossed on his back, including my scary big yellow rain slicker, which I tossed onto his neck numerous times. I believe he could even be a Cowboy Mounted Shooting prospect, with his build and temperament. The possibilities are pretty much endless with this boy. Leads, ties quietly, loves to be groomed, stands for farrier, easy to worm; easy to catch and always loaded quietly when trailered. He has not been hobbled, but he has had soft cotton rope looped around his feet and he could care less. This is a special gelding and should be a wonderful family horse.
