He went to the track and raced a handful of times when he was younger. He did get a knee injury and had surgery. He was on rest for a full year and has been sound since. He is currently barefoot.
I mostly ride him western or bareback recreationally. He does best with arena work, inside or outside. Would make a great intermediate lesson horse.
He lunges like a dream and does well with voice commands.
I’ve had my husband, kids and other kids ride him. I’ve given lessons on him with young kids, mostly on a lunge line.
He loads in the trailer very easily. He bathes well.
Cons:
He seems to have two personalities. One is super calm, he doesn’t care about much, anyone can ride him. He will do whatever you ask.
The other side is “race horse” energy, he can get spirited and doesn’t want to stand still. I have still ridden him with this energy. He likes to run but will listen if a confident rider doesn’t let him run. This energy seems to be triggered if he is alone. He likes to be with others. And while he loads in the trailer well, he gets anxious when at new locations. He also gets this energy when riding on trails. He is good in an outdoor arena, but gets anxious on trails.
For these reasons, he needs an intermediate rider.
I am selling as I have too many horses and don’t have the time he deserves. I want to ensure he goes to a home that works. Happy to answer any more questions.
