University of MinneSODA fans rejoice - Dr. Pepper, PhD is ready for a new patient! Just kidding, Pepper only has his degree in FIZZics 🙂
Pepper is an 18yo 15.1h Appaloosa Gelding. He’s the horse you drew in kindergarten come to life, right down to the stick tail. (Hey it’s growing okay!) Forget “fizzics”, this guy has a degree in safety and minored in “Stand Still-ology”. His favorite places are anywhere where there’s food, and in the crossties. He loves to be groomed, grazed, and generally be loved on.
In the saddle, he is unflappable. I have squealed, yelled, thrown my hands in the air like I just didn’t care and Pepper doesn’t flinch. Outside ba****ck? No problem. Dressed up like a carousel horse? We’re doin it. Wreath in the snow with the wind whipping? Okie dokie. He is a very steady eddy and will walk and trot until the cows come home.
HOWEVER. He is not for a tiny tiny rider. He needs someone with some upper body strength, as we’ve come to the part of the ad where I give you his one vice. He will root when he thinks he can get away with it. Yes, he’s had his teeth done. Yes, I’ve checked his hocks. It’s purely to get out of work. And only when the rider is not strong enough or paying attention enough to give him a correction. Once he realizes you’re not playing, he gives up.
Buttery, lovely canter, and he will go over a crossrail. He does not willingly give up the canter though, and is not phased by the lunge whip (unflappable!). He is BEST suited for a strong walk trotter, a good riding tween who wants something fun, a therapy horse, trail horse, or a petite adult’s buddy. Maintenance consistent with age.
He’s a very sweet horse and so only the best homes considered! Located in Montrose, PA. Please PM me for all other details. 🥕🥕🥕🥕
