Marksman On Target foaled May 6 2020 an athletic beautiful, chestnut with white socks and lots o chrome. A talented OTTB gelding, he has had 3 months of professional training to re-start him off the track and is taking to the new work like a champ. Sensitive and timid, goes well with an understanding rider who gives lots of praise. Started over ground poles and cross rails. He goes in a snaffle and gives to the bit nicely, however, a bit inconsistently.... (read more) Has basics down good, Walk, Trot, canter, stop, go left, right under saddle. Will even give to the bit when properly asked! Easy to handle, loves to play. Lightly raced. He’s a stout 16.3h, located in Norco, California. Just been chilling due to my husbands extreme health issues since that time, then mine as I had three brain surgeries last year, now my mom’s who’s been in and out of the hospital and skilled nursing facility. By Lakerville out of a Silber a Bertrando gelding and him half brother to him that we sold a few years back by Lakerville became San Diego Champion Jumper, and this gelding has equal athleticism. Dressage, eventing, or just take him on the trail. Loads into trailers easily, goes on hotwalkers, loves bathes! Currently shod in front as we have very hard ground. Needs new digs, needs a job, just been hanging out him! We have too many to keep, and I need to reduce! Would do well with an advanced beginner or intermediate rider with a lot of confidence. It's my job to rehome our retiring racehorses, and due to health issues, I've gotten behind. So come make this guy yours, he won't last! Available to view Tuesday 4-6pm, Thursday 4-6pm Saturday 2-4pm only due to my mom’s current health crisis and that is when we can have help him. Come make him yours today 3500
