Young Gelding
Description
Leroy is approximately 5 years old. He is pinto, and his left eye is blue. He has a slim build but heavy bone for his size, and good feet. He was caught from the wild and gelded last fall. He is now well halter broke and easy to catch. He stands nicely tied. He loads without hesitation in the trailer. I have packed him several times. Once he is tied on, he is perfect, but one has to be careful putting the pack on because he can be spooky and try to jump away from the packs. He has been saddled western several times and ponied out in the bush. He is not broncy at all, and has never offered to buck. When I cinch him, he appears completely comfortable, and he moves out right away with no hump whatsoever.
I have trimmed his feet (I'm a farrier) several times. He gives his feet but is impatient about keeping them up. He is surprisingly good with minor restraints--so I'll wrap a soft cotton rope around his pastern and just knowing that's there makes him more willing to stand still and give a chance to finish the job. Leroy is really quite gentle for the amount of handling that he has had, but he needs someone to really spend some time with him, and I have way too many other responsibilities to be that person,
