Tito is looking for a step down job! He is a 21 year old AQHA gelding, 14.3 hands and cute as a button

He has been used in my lesson program for the last 5 years and has always been the best boy! He is safe and perfect for all ages, the best beginner safe horse!

Tito has navicular and an old suspensory injury that is managed with special shoeing, but also prevents him from doing more than any walk trot under saddle. He is also on maitenance for arthritis. He teaches 1 lesson a week currently and could do more but is reaching his retirement in the program.

I’m open to discussing an on-farm lease or off-farm lease for him, he is NOT for sale and NOT being offered to any lesson programs whatsoever

Please pm for more lease info

Introducing Rustic Soot aka Sooty

Sooty is a 12-13 year old draft cross (we assume Percheron/QH)
Beautiful dappled buckskin gelding (with amber eyes!)
15.1/15.2 hands and THICK!

Built like a TANK! Sooty has 3 beautiful gaits and can really show his floaty movement at times. Very comfy WTC. Knows leg and has some side pass. Although he is lazy sometimes, he does have a go button when asked. He would be best suited for an intermediate rider. Although Sooty is an angel in many ways, he is sensitive at times and it takes the right, confident rider to establish a good relationship with him! He could be good for beginners under trainer supervision, he’s had beginners on him and has always done well but will take advantage. He thrives in consistent work.

Soot can do just about anything! He goes Western or English, has been on barrels/poles and done a little jumping. Trail rides like a pro and jumps on any trailer. Ba****ck & a halter is his favorite. Sooty ties, cross-ties, baths, and blankets with no funny business! Great for farrier and vet. Wears front shoes. Easy keeper, stays fat on air. Lives outside 24/7 but can be stalled. UTD on everything including dentist.

Sooty does not tolerate bugs very well and has to be stalled in the summer during very hot, humid weather. Early fly sheet application and antihistamines are his best friend! Will explain further to all interested parties.
