Meet Tugboat, or โTug,โ as we have affectionately dubbed him. Heโs the most adorable guy in a perfect-sized package!
Haflingers this cool donโt come along often; Tug is not only adorable, he is getting pretty fancy, and goes both western and english. He loves to jump and has a super cute style over fences.
Tug is an easy ride. While he is more push style, he has an easy go button and three beautiful gaits. He has good stops, the start of his spins, and rollbacks. He is soft in his face and starting to ride in a frame as well. It wonโt be long before he is really fancy; he already wants to offer flying changes without any schooling!
Where Tug shines is with jumps in front of him: he absolutely loves it. He has zero stop whatsoever and is brave to the jumps, does not rush, and can take a joke. Got a bad distance? No worry, he wonโt hold it against you. He has jumped up to 2โ6 but can easily go higher; he has just begun to jump and itโs clear he would excel in this area!
Tug handles time off well and can sit for a couple weeks and come back the same horse. He does not need to be ridden every day. We do not lunge him - just get on and go.
Tug has been ridden on trails, however, he is still a little bit nervous out of the arena, so he could use more miles in this area; he does ride out alone and is not overly reactive or spooky, just not a head down, โgit alongโ type.
Tug has good ground manners, and is easy to catch, tie, load, trim, etc. He has been ground driven and could possibly be started in team harness with a solid partner.
Tug could suit a variety of riders. A keen kid could have a ton of fun with him. In the arena he could pack around almost any rider. However, Tug will be best with someone that is confident. Tug is very gentle but he needs a person who can be firm when needed. He is incredibly sweet but not the type who can be spoiled. He has absolutely zero buck, bolt, or rear, and no bite, kick, or nip.
Tug is currently barefoot, sound, and UTD on everything. No history of founder. He requires no maintenance and is ready to be enjoyed.
And yes - he does grow a full tail! He buddied up to our yearlings and they decided to chew it this spring. ๐คฃ๐
