Additional Comments
Buster is a grade, 8 year old, gelding, and stands 14.1 hands tall. He is built lean - not a big, thick horse - he is slender but built very nicely - extremely athletic and quick on his feet. He is suitable for a confident intermediate rider and up. He is UTD on everything - vaccines, worming, teeth, negative coggins, and feet.
He is trail and traffic safe - he does still jump occasionally or walk sideways away from something but nothing dangerous.... (read more)
Ties, loads, unloads, stands to be saddled, trailers quietly. Great feet - they are thick soled and tough - he does not need shoes unless you’re taking him to the mountains.
I would still consider him green but he started nicely - he is learning to neck rein and take leg cues, and he is doing great with it - very fast learner. Never offered to buck, rear, kick, or bite. He will be hard to catch until he trusts you. Feed means nothing to him - he needs to trust you. He is very soft in the face but tolerates a heavy handed rider; however, he is much calmer with a soft handed rider. Walk, trot, lope, run - he is very fast but will not lope off if he is unsure of his surroundings. He is sound; although, he does have 2 scares on the lower part of his legs - one on the front right and one on the back right.
He is easy to keep contained- not one that tries to break out, even if the other horses get out he will most likely still be in the field. Will ride alone or in a group - if you are with a group then he will be reluctant to leave everybody but he will do it - not barn sour at all. Crosses anything and everything on the trails.
I have recently mailed off a DNA sample to find out what breed he is. But he does trot.
Wagarville, AL. Price is FIRM. This horse is going to be GREAT.
He is worth more but I dropped his price to sell more quickly. I have to bring my stallion and pregnant mares in from the field and need more space. I have lots of picture and videos. I know everything about this horse’s personality and quirks. Ask anything you want. Come try him. We have tons of trails and roads to ride. If you’re confident and know how to ride then you can ride him.
