Reg AQHA Gelding

Additional Comments

Diesel is 16yr old AQHS registered gelding. He is around 16.3hh. He is well broke ready to ride but cautious, slow to trust. Patience while he learns you is important, however very hard worker and tries hard. He puts the effort in and is smart. He was started in roping as a head horse, im terrible at roping so some work there with me throwing the rope around and off him, but I think he could develop that well. I can back him into the chute and run out, im just not that coordinated with swinging the rope at same time but he is good with what I can do so far.... (read more) He has the gears lots of go when he needs. He leg yields, working on neck reigning just needs some more consistency but its there, even throws me a flying lead change sometimes. Good with farrier and feet. Had teeth done in fall, regular deworming. Truly he could be someones star horse and I am not able to put the time in he deserves anymore after developing him for a few years. Rode him more consistently last summer while my other horse was healing and he absolutely performed like a star and lit up and I realize he could use someone who wants to give him way more focus than I can, which is hard because he is such a good horse, and a looker! always gets compliments on how gorgeous, big flashy boy he is! shiny grey with beautiful dapples, really cool markings where the black on the legs meets the grey.
I can send video too, just cannot upload on here.
Love language is apples, dislikes carrots.
