Hidalgo -- 5 Year Old Grade Gelding 14 hh
Description
Willing to learn and please his handler. Smooth gaits. Very curious. Very sensitive horse and responsive to calm clear requests. Healthy. Very easy keeper. Sound. No previous injuries. 14 hh. A good jumper — clears 4-5 feet high fence like a pro. A young gelding who is used to walking on all terrains (mud, creeks, ice), has been around dogs and lived in a herd environment all its life, dominant in a herd. He chased and separated cows in a pasture without a rider. Would make a good partner.
Born April 2017, started as a two year old and ridden for 5 days or so. He was calm, unfazed by tarps over/under him, rode at a walk, and seemed very promising and acted like a seasoned horse. He was left for two years, then restarted daily ground training for 10 months in 2021-2022. For reasons unknown, he bucks as a rider is getting on. He might do well with a different handler or benefit from chiro work.
He was recently saddled and stood nicely, no flinching when stirrups were flapped up and down.
Although he’s small and having lived most of his life among large herds of horses, he seems to be at the top of the hierarchy among horses. His dam is the same in this respect.
Posting for the owner who would like to keep this horse, train this gelding himself, send him to a trainer -- this owner is in his 70s and just had hip surgery. He says, from experience, horses that are harder to train make the best horses and he’s trained wild horses. If there's anyone out there who would like to train this horse for the owner, please contact me. Or if you wish to buy this gelding, the price is $1,500 firm. Good forever home only.
