SALE PENDING
2018 16H Grade Black Tennessee Walking Horse Gelding. Was started under saddle Fall of 2020. He was trained and was ridden on and off up until Summer of 2021 then was started on trail riding. He has been trail ridden for 2 years and was taken down to Zumbro Bottoms all Fall of 2022. He is at W/T/C. He is a BIG boy, he has been ridden by several people, of all levels, but being he is bigger and pretty strong, I do recommend at least an intermediate/confident rider.... (read more) He is NOT beginner broke, has just had beginners on him. He is pretty easy to handle, can be kind of lazy if you allow him to be but it doesn't take much to get him going. He prefers to mosey around and will fall back into that unless encouraged but once encouraged you don't have to ask him again and he is covering ground. His confidence, speed, and carriage depend on his rider, he reads easily into the person that is on him. He has been used mostly as an extra trail riding horse for our students. He was pulled out of a kill pen Spring of 2020 in tough condition. He was rehabilitated, trained, and I had planned on keeping him, but he is too big for my 5'2 self and seems to intimidate most of our riders because of his size. His current rider for the last year and a half wanted a step-up horse that was not gaited but he loves Major to pieces and had tons of fun on him throughout his time with him. Major is a sweet, calm, giant. He can be a big baby and loves attention. Waits for you at the gate, walks up to be pulled out to be ridden, and nickers to you whenever he sees you. You can swing up on him in the pasture, climb all over him, ride him bareback. He doesn't mind one bit. Major would make someone an excellent trail riding partner or an extra trail riding horse! Please keep in mind, Major does NOT have to sell and will only be sold to the right person, I would rather see him go somewhere that he is needed so he isn't sitting. His final asking price will not be negotiable. Major is not a kid's horse, nor do I think he will be one anytime soon (due to his size and lack of experience with age so please do not ask).
Major was absolutely amazing down at the bottoms even on his first time there. Only thing that was uncomfortable to him was crossing the bridge for the first time. He was at the way back and I'd presume the echoing noise spooked him a bit and he started to continuously speed up until he got off of the bridge. I wouldn't quite call it a bolt because he didn't take off, but he definitely wanted off of that bridge in that moment. On the way back over the bridge on the way back, he went over it without rushing.
Major is alright for the farrier (could be better, he still tests to see if he can get away with something but improves every farrier visit), he is good for worming, vaccinations, loading/hauling, tying, fly masks, blankets, being stalled, pastured. He is in the middle of the herd, sticks up for himself but isn't overly aggressive.
