This little guy is a retired show horse with a big heart and an even bigger need to be the center of attention. He’s 17, 13.1hh, and the same solid, steady ride whether you hop on every day or once a year. He loves kids, and he’s safe—my son rode him the second time he ever sat on a horse. He’s responsive and fun without ever feeling overwhelming. He’ll teach soft hands, legs, and seat just by being who he is. Ask for more, and he’ll pitter-patter those little feet like he’s got somewhere to be, even if you’re not actually going anywhere. It’s a confidence-building ride that feels exciting without ever crossing the line.
No buck, bite, or rear. He’s not wild about having his ears played with, but he’ll put up with it. He’s pawed the air a few times when nervous or tied, but give him a little reassurance and he settles right down.
He’s been barefoot for the past two years and stays on a five-week trim schedule. His toes grow fast, and we’ve seen some wind puffs pop up on his back fetlocks if he’s been in deep mud too long—but they come and go and haven’t caused any problems. A prior owner suggested wedge shoes for heavier riding, though he’s done just fine barefoot here.
He lives out 24/7 with a run-in and settles in quickly anywhere. I’ve heard he can get a little hotter in a stall or hectic environment, but he trailered beautifully and made himself right at home here. He gets along with horses, goats, chickens—you name it. He’s middle of the herd and doesn’t stir the pot. He might call once or twice if his buddy leaves, but he’s not herd-bound when it’s his turn to head out.
Truthfully, he’s not getting the time or attention he deserves here, and my other horse has started picking on him. I’d love to see him land somewhere he can shine again—he’s happiest when he’s got a person doting on him.
