Additional Comments
Gallant is a gorgeous 4 year old grade Paint/QH gelding. He stands 15 hh, has nice legs and feet, is barefoot, and has a blue eye with black eyeliner. He has great ground manners and is an “in your pocket” type of guy. He LOVES attention, grooming, bathing & hanging out. He meets you at the stall door, greeting you at the gate, playing in water, rolling while in hand, and is a lot of fun to do groundwork exercises and games. He is trained with a Natural Horsemanship Foundation with sensory and is not much of a spooky horse.... (read more) He enjoys work and is very smart. He stands for mounting (with or without a block), has a nice forward walk and smooth trot and canter. He has been ridden Western and English in the arena and on trail. He loves both and moves nicely for either discipline. He enjoys hopping over small jumps and would make a cute hunter/jumper/pony club type of mount with further training.
Gallant picks up leads, has soft transitions, moves off of leg, does lateral work, goes over poles, and responds to voice commands. He also opens/closes gates, loves pushing cows, ponies other horses, can be ponied, camping trips, goes through water, loads, hauls, rides next to traffic, carries a flag, and can drag log/barrel/etc.
On the trail, Gallant moves right out. He has ridden in small and large groups, out alone, and is good around other horses. He is sure-footed and strong while climbing hills, has gathered cattle in tough country, and really knows how to handle his feet. He is a lot of fun to take horse camping and loves to swim in the river, lakes, ocean. He hobbles and high-lines, is good around dogs, quads, motorcycles, bicycles, traffic, kids running around, etc. He is also great for the farrier, stands tied quietly, is safe on the ground, and can live in a barn or pasture. He loves his shavings, comes in when you call him, and has been behind hot wire.
Overall, Gallant has a solid foundation and is ready to excel in one or more disciplines and events. He is suitable for a confident advanced beginner with a trainer and up rider. He is willing, athletic, has honest hours on the trail/ranch, is sound, healthy, and ready to go. If you are looking for your next best mount- in and out of the arena- Look no further than Gallant!
