Gorgeous Bay Gelding for sale
Description
Selling for a friend
Hey everyone - is anyone looking for a super sweet very PRETTY registered quarter horse gelding? He’s about 15’1” and is a retired Western Pleasure show horse originally from Florida I think. I have his AQHA papers.
His name is Benz - I bought him last summer to trail with. His previous owner took him all over Dundas, Ganaraska Forest. He’s great on roads, rivers, no spooks, middle of the herd with the other horses. No vices.
He has some soundness issues in the front but seems managed with shoes and some previcox. He is definitely not sound tho - full disclosure and honestly personally I didn’t mind that for trail riding when I bought him.
Because of his demographic I assumed he had navicular but three blacksmiths and two horse vet friends of mine say he should be reactive when his shoes go on/hood testers etc....he is not. He has some arthritis in his knee - I have not worked up his lameness. His soundness is no better or worse since he came. When he feels good (which is most of the time) he still rips around the paddock and shows off!
He’s got lovely ground manners - can get a little pushy on the trails alone and has little ‘tantrums’ (more fusses to go home a bit - nothing dangerous) just can be a little bratty. I suspect could be worked through if you took the time with him. If he wants to go back and you make him continue once in a while he will do small bucks and call to his friends. He has never tried anything bad or to ‘put us off’ - just fusses. He is better with another one of his pals but goes out alone well.
He trailers well, is up to date on everything (Owner is a small animal vet so he’s had great health care since he came - his teeth are done etc)
Reason for selling Owner just have too many awesome horses, not enough hours in the day and don’t want him to continue a light work routine.
He needs light light hands light light leg - he is super willing and eager
He can never end up at OLEX! He can never end up pulling a buggy down the highway or being jumped at a lesson place I would never forgive myself.
He’s a sweetheart - he just needs someone to live and enjoy him.
You’ve been brutally honest regarding the horse.
PM me if interested!!
Will except serious offers to the right home priced at $3500.
