Bandit
8 year old - grade Quarter horse gelding - 15hands

Trail horse deluxe, Fox Hunting & Dressage Prospect

This guy is a blast! If you want a horse that could trail ride one day & do some dressage the next then this is your guy! He has a lovely trot that you could ride all day, very push button & comfortable.
Bandit will also pop over a small crossrail but he is still green in the jumping department, but willing!... (read more) Will walk thru creeks, mud, down the road, & down any trail you point him to. He even pulled me around on a sled when we got all that snow/ice, I was so impressed with how well he handled that!
I would consider Bandit suitable for an advanced beginner rider or better cause he does need some more finishing touches if your wanting a dressage show prospect & he does have a more forward way of going. He doesn't take a ton of leg to ask for more from him but is very adjustable, he has great brakes & is very responsive. Not a mean bone, aims to please! If you cannot ride a forward trot & are a super timid rider he may not be the best fit for you! Not a brand new beginner mount since he has some pep in his step. No buck, bolt, spook, he's a good boy! If you want a push button type ride, thats him, & he's very soft in your hands.
He is thick built & sturdy with plenty of bone so would suit riders of all sizes.
Perfect for a teenager that wants to dabble into a little of everything!
Also, Bandit is solid black when kept from sun bleaching, he is absolutely stunning!
Before I got Bandit he was used for trail riding & ranch work specifically so he has seen it all! Worked around cattle too!
Barefoot with good feet, loads in the trailer well, easy to handle on the ground, stands quiet while tied, does well in a mixed herd turnout, always greets you at the gate, puppy dog personality. Up to date on all vaccinations/deworming/coggins.
This handsome boy could excel in so many disciplines, western dressage, fox hunting, trail, eventing, hunters, dressage, he is a very versatile horse & is game for anything! Rides english & western!
I prioritize a sale but I would consider a lease to a 5-star home! We can talk about it!
Contact me to set up a trial ride, serious inquiries only please!
He will increase in $ the more we do with him!
