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.

Happy 5 year anniversary of Downeast Performance Horses being here at our wonderful facility, Misty Meadows!!!

Thank you to Bob & Carol for always making all my dreams come true and being so supportive of my business, I love you both so much and can never thank you enough for treating me like a daughter!

This year was filled with more loss than any of us would have expected but we are so grateful for all the wonderful years we got to spend with our beloved horses. They will never be forgotten. After losing one of my own horses of 20 years, it’s a heartache that never fully leaves ♥️

Thank you to all my wonderful boarders and clients that trust in me with your horses, whether it be in my boarding care or my training program!

Thank you to all of my wonderful barn people that understand the importance of caring for all these horses and treating each and every one like their own. We have a wonderful barn family & I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Cheers to more years to come….and a new adventure to begin soon! 😉❤️
