Curious George
This is George. He is a good little monkey ā and always very curious. But George is not a monkeyāheās a horse! He is a very tall warmblood-cross gelding, 16ā2ā hands to be exact. Much taller than a monkey ever could be.
George is seven years old and full of curiosity. He likes to sniff everything ā the brushes, your pockets, even the dogs and cats. When he first came home in November 2023, he didnāt know very much at all. He would wear a halter and walk on a lead (if you could catch him), but that was it. Everything else was brand new.
George watched the other horses and thought, āI want to learn that too!ā So he did. In the spring, he learned to walk, trot, and canter under saddle. The walk was easy. The trot was bouncy and fun. The canterāwell, that one still takes some practice, but George is improving every day. His gaits are super smooth and so easy for his rider to sit too.
George likes to move forward and listens very carefully. Sometimes he hears a funny sound and will react ā just to make sure everything is okay. Heās not scared, just curious.
He tried jumping once or twice and thought it was exciting. But he prefers keeping all four feet on the ground and will be an elegant dressage partner. He likes to show off his floaty trot and stretchy walk.
On the ground, George loves attention. He happily stands tied for grooming and loves being fussed over, though cross-ties are still a bit puzzling. He is excellent for the vet, and the farrier says George has decent manners, even if he wiggles his toes sometimes.
George is a big boy with big solid feet. What he really wants is an advanced, confident rider or trainer looking for a prospect who will keep teaching him new thingsābecause Curious George loves to learn.
Every day is an adventure for George, and we canāt wait to see what heāll discover next.
