Additional Comments

Jasper is a 15.1hh grade Quarter Horse gelding, stout built and just 12 years old. He rides both English and Western and has done lessons for the past year.

Jasper came to us as a train/lease arrangement but his owners have decided to sell. *He is on consignment with us, he is not a rescue.*

UTD on everything coggins/dental/vaccines/farrier. Stands for vet and farrier, loads well. No vices.

EASY EASY keeper, barefoot. Can be lazy esp in hot weather but has been great in lessons, can WTC both ways. Simple guy, pretty easy to manage. Comfy slow jog, but can do a more forward type trot as well.
Needs some leg most days, does great with handling heavier riders.
Currently used 3-4 x per week in lessons.

Pretty good on trails, woods and gravel roads. Goes alone or in a group.

Can be a really sweet boy, but he definitely knows when someone isn't paying attention or is still learning how to be a leader! (Snatching grass while leading for example)

Recommended for Advanced Beginner rider and up because he can take advantage after a while. He is the sort of horse that while doesn't need to be ridden excessively, benefits from being ridden at least 1x per week to keep him listening, losing weight and building muscle.

Jasper can "zone out" with repetitive motion, so can be surprised with something changes if the rider isn't communicating with him. A simple leg squeeze or half halt is enough to prep him.

Lots of students love his gorgeous flea bitten grey color and his slower nature!
