Casually putting out feelers for our boy, to find his forever home.
The good, “keeper” is a Registered quarterhorse, “celebrity lopin thru” he is easy on the eyes with all his chrome, 15.3hh with a huge personality, trailers well, ties well, baths well, and is 15 years old, with a lot of life left in him, he is wanting a job. Ground drives, broke walk trot canter, gives to the bit and has some buttons, and continuously gets better the more time you spend with him. Goes thru water and over bridges.
The bad, not fully sound, maintained on previcox but still doesn’t make him 100%. He needs front shoes, but does do better shod all around, we have tried navicular shoes and backwards shoes but neither made a huge difference. He can be slightly Spooky on trails, but got better the more we took him out last year, will not back out of trailer, only turns around. Farrier needs to hold his feet low and work with him and not against him, he’s a hard keeper, and will lose weight fast, and needs a confident experienced rider. He can be a bit naughty if he’s had too much time off and will take advantage of a timid rider.
Looking to re home for a small fee, as either a pasture pet, a companion, or a light riding trail horse home, and quite honestly if you wanted to throw the money into him and figure out the real issue of lameness, he could be a really good riding horse, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he had a navicular he has some training put into him, willing to do a lease to own option aswell. Not in a hurry to let him go and he will only be going to an approved home that will be appropriate for what he is capable of. He will not be going to a home that’s going to ride the life out of him, or to someone who’s going to block him and then flip him for more money.
Pm me with any questions, have some videos upon request.
Located in Langley BC but can help arrange hauling if needed.
