Joe Black, saved by HERD in June 2019, was trained by Alene Harfmann for obstacles and trail riding and then adopted four years ago by HERD volunteer and supporter Bill McClelland. Bill unfortunately has to stop riding because of his back and he wants to find Joe Black a safe, forever great home in the Carolinas.
Joe is age 17 and still riding soundly barefoot out on the trails. He does not enjoy ring work so not a lesson horse candidate. He is not a fan of the bugs and heat in Florida so hence Bill wants him to go back north. He prefers a hackamore to a bit and loves heading out into the woods, crossing deep creeks and riding with a group or can go solo out to ride.
Joe will have a current Coggins, up-to-date on vaccines and I have lots of additional photos and video of him doing obstacle challenges. I would not put a beginner on him only because Joe is seasoned and does have a mind of his own but a rider who wants to trail ride, or someone looking for a great pasture pal gelding, Joe is perfect with mares and geldings.
If interested, PM me. The new home would need to cover the transport from central Florida to NC or SC.
Here is Joe with a youngster we have. He is 15.1 hands and a quarter horse cross.
