Additional Comments

Take Command is a personable gelding that likes attention. He was successful at the track and has made a nice transition into life as a pleasure mount. He is easy to catch, nice to work with on the ground, good to shoe, stands tied quietly, saddles up and heads out of the yard to work without drama. Rides outside alone on a loose rein and isn't buddy sour. He has started some light cattle work checking pastures without issues and takes obstacles such as V-ditches, water, brush and hills in stride.... (read more) Very, very smooth gaits and easy to fit to Western or English tack. Currently going in a mild curb and learning to neck-rein. Stands for the mounting block. Lives outside 24/7 on grass or hay, stays plump without grain, and is not agressive when turned out in a herd. We got T.C. from Tropic Lightning Racing LLC by reference from his breeder and have his full history. If we don't know the answers to any questions regarding this pretty gelding, we are more than happy to put you in contact with his previous owner. He has not been passed around and has had the best of care from day one. This guy has the gaits and eye-appeal to do very well in dressage or just let him create horse-envy among your trail riding friends! The best way to contact Dale is to CALL (no text).
