Additional Comments

Indigo is a striking 7-year-old, 14.3-hand grey draft cross gelding that combines beauty, versatility, and a willing attitude into one exceptional package. While he was sold to us as a draft cross, his elegant movement, natural carriage, and overall appearance give him the look of an Andalusian cross. Regardless of his breeding, Indigo is the kind of horse that turns heads wherever he goes and impresses everyone who swings a leg over him.

Indigo is exceptionally well broke and has been trained extensively both under saddle and in harness.... (read more) He is equally comfortable riding Western or English and transitions seamlessly between the two disciplines. Under English tack, Indigo is soft, supple, and responsive in a simple snaffle bit. He carries himself naturally, moves beautifully off your leg, and offers a pleasant ride with the kind of responsiveness that makes him enjoyable for riders looking to improve their skills while still being forgiving enough for those wanting a dependable partner.

Switch him over to Western tack and Indigo remains every bit as enjoyable. He willingly rides in a shank bit, carries himself long and low when asked, and naturally settles into a comfortable frame. Leave him alone and he will travel with a relaxed, natural headset. He is a horse that genuinely wants to please his rider and consistently gives an honest effort no matter what is asked of him.

One of Indigo’s biggest assets is his size. Standing 14.3 hands, he is substantial enough to comfortably carry larger riders while still being approachable and confidence-inspiring for smaller riders and children. His three smooth gaits make him comfortable to ride all day long, whether you are working in the arena, exploring trails, or simply enjoying a leisurely ride around the farm.

Beyond his riding abilities, Indigo is also trick trained and loves showing off his talents. He will lay down on command while mounted and will sit up on a bean bag, making him a fun and entertaining partner that stands out from the crowd. His willingness and intelligence make him a pleasure to work with both on the ground and under saddle.

On the trail, Indigo is brave, dependable, and willing to go wherever his rider points him. He confidently crosses water, steps over logs, navigates thick brush, and handles rough terrain without hesitation. He is accustomed to encountering traffic, barking dogs, bicycles, and the everyday sights and sounds that riders commonly face outside the arena. His calm and honest demeanor allows riders to relax and enjoy the ride.

In harness, Indigo is a completely finished driving horse that knows his job well. He is traffic safe on the roads, stands well for harnessing and hitching, and drives with the same dependable attitude he displays under saddle. Whether you are looking for a pleasure driving horse or simply want the versatility of a horse that can do it all, Indigo checks the box. He is steady, trustworthy, and the kind of horse that gives his driver confidence every time they climb into the cart.

Indigo is current on deworming, vaccinations, dental care, and farrier work. Horses with his combination of looks, training, versatility, and disposition are difficult to find. Whether you are searching for a trail companion, driving horse, family horse, pleasure mount, or all-around partner, Indigo has the foundation and experience to fit a wide variety of homes.
