*Honest Ad*
Project horse available that needs an attitude adjustment 🙃
16.2, 11 year old OTTB gelding. Lenny (GLENVILLE GARDENS) has war horse status and ran a very successful stakes career. Has been off the track for 2 years this month. Restarted under saddle in 2021, he was very easy and quiet, started over poles and small fences.
For the last year, we have been dealing with behavioural issues under saddle. I‘m not sure what he wants his job to be, but I do not have the time to continue investing in him to figure it out. Has been lightly ridden this winter and long lined. No soundness issues. Lovely canter for a TB. He was great when he was restarted and then after last winter off, became a complete d*ck under saddle. I think he has learned exactly what to do to not have to work and gotten away with it and now he’s just rude. Some days are much better than others, but my time (mostly patience) with him has come to an end.
Very well mannered, baths, clips, ties, loads, etc. Quiet and can be handled by kids.
Price negotiable and good home is a must. Located in Nevada.
Before everyone starts making suggestions: he has been seen by multiple vets. He has been treated for ulcers multiple times, including ulcer prevention. His most recent treatment just finished last week with 30 days of gastro guard. He has had regular massage, chiro, PEMF, etc. You name it, I’ve done it to try and figure out if his issues are anything other than behaviour related. All vet and soundness professionals, trainers and previous racing connections agree that it is behavioural. It is a huge loss to me as he really is quite lovely and I don’t have the experience to deal with him beyond this point. He’s very handsome and sweet on the ground. I have tons of video of him under saddle. PM to discuss.
