Troy is a stocky built 15.2hh, 11 yr old, Sorrel Flax mane and tail Gelding. Troy and his mate (coming soon) came to us from a couple of older gentlemen in Kentucky who were in their 70s. They had owned both horses for several years, and they had traveled and trail-ridden them in multiple states. They were leaving the horse business as winter was too cold and summer was too hot to suit them. Troy has a natural 4-beat gait that is very smooth at all speeds. He has been ridden around farm equipment, ATVs, and noisy tarps. On the trails, he is always great! Troy has been exposed to all kinds of wildlife, such as deer or turkey, or other animals like cows or dogs, and will go anywhere he is asked to. He has ridden many miles in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky and encountered every obstacle possible on the trail. He will go up or down even the steepest slopes, across deep creeks, over downed trees, and all rough terrain while still being sure-footed. He has been ridden in traffic and is very traffic-safe around cars, semis, logs, and dump trucks. He has a great personality and a great attitude about whatever he is asked to do.
About Jamestown, KY
The community was established in 1826 to be the seat of the newly formed Russell County. It was briefly known as Jacksonville in honor of General Andrew Jackson, who had just won a plurality of the popular vote during the 1824 presidential election but lost the runoff in the House of Representatives, largely because of the " corrupt bargain" struck by Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams. However, an anti-Jacksonian party loyal to Clay came into power the same year and the post office was established in November as Jamestown after local landowner James Wooldridge, who (together with his brother John) had donated 110 acres of land for the town. The act of the state legislature incorporating the city in December continued this name, which the city has used since. As of the census of 2000, there were 1,624 people, 662 households, and 421 families residing in the city.
