YouwonderwhyIdrink known as "Drink" around the barn, is a stunning 16.3 8-year-old chestnut Thoroughbred gelding with chrome. He has long legs and has a more slender figure, the rider in the photos is 5'4". Drink aims to please and is extremely versatile, he has played in both the hunters and the jumpers. He can be ridden with or without others in the ring and I have no hesitations about taking him out for a trail ride. If it's a busy day and you want to work 2 at once?... (read more) Not a problem, Drink can be ponied!

Drink is very honest to the jumps and he will take any spot that I give him. He is currently schooling 3'/3'3" with room to go higher. He has demonstrated his child-friendly nature even at horse shows, where a 9-year-old led him around on day one (at his first show). He has been hauled to many different venues/barns and he settles right in. He has auto lead changes and while he is more of a leg ride he also has his own motor. I do not need to flat or jump him with a crop/spurs and he goes in a soft 3 piece loose ring snaffle.

Drink self loads in the trailer and stands wonderfully for the vet and farrier. He was just reshod this last week (fronts only), and is UTD on all vaccinations and coggins. The farrier has even taken an angle grinder straight to Drink's front hooves before and Drink did not object! Drink is comfortable around dogs, cattle, tractors, etc. and overall he is known to be one chill guy! Ready for a person of his own, would be perfect for an adult amateur or jr/yr looking for something on the more quiet and consistent side.
