Ready for the Michigan SnowPocalypse 2023! 2 bags of fresh savings, heated water tub, and a huge mound of hay.

"Helping" 😆 He was eating hay and I called out to him "this is a labor of love, because I love you." So he decided to come over to let me know he appreciates my efforts to fill in the mucky, wet area in front of his stall door. 💙 🦄

🎄🎅 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 🦌🎄

The Alchemist, aka Laddy, is a 2008 stallion (he'll be 14 in June 2022) by TUMBLEWEED out of WHR Polly.

LOCATED IN LAPEER, MI about 1 hour from the Canadian border in Port Huron/Sarnia.

He can be gelded at Michigan State University for about 💲3️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣. I am happy to help arrange that. Please pm me for more info about it!

He is about 15.1 hands. Not much phases him, he currently lives next to an active railroad crossing with blaring horns 24/7. He's happy to live out or in. Not studdy, right now he shares fences with geldings and a donkey with no issues. He has lived with geldings in the past, also without issue.

Laddy is well broke to ride, he has been in consistent training for the last 5 years with an eventing trainer, focusing on dressage and jumping. He is ready to show at 1st level.

He had a 4 month driving refresher this summer/fall. He is traffic safe and is appropriate for an intermediate driver or an advanced beginner under the guidance of a trainer. I think he would LOVE to do CDEs as he thrives on variety of work!

Laddy has been to the Michigan Horse Expo several times, went to the Vanner Faire in Canada in 2013 where he placed 2nd in his class of stallions over 4 years, AND I took him to a very loud event for developmentally disabled people at my church when I was 8.5 months pregnant.

Laddy hops on and off any trailer, stands nicely for the farrier and is an overall gentleman. He lives outside 24/7. He only sired 4 foals, for his previous owner, as I don't have any mares. At 4 years old he was inspected by the GVHS and rated 4 stars. I always planned to take him to be inspected again once he matured (as I'm sure he would be awarded 5), but I haven't been able to do so. Sadly, I just don't have time for him. He's wonderful and deserves someone who does. I could talk about his positives for hours.

Please pm for more information if you are SERIOUS and already have your partner's approval!
