Thoroughbred Gelding for Sale in Grand Rapids, MI
Power Play (aka Lester) is a 15 year old thoroughbred gelding who is in need of someone to give him some love while I'm at college. He has been ridden for 4H, high school equestrian team and has had some experience on the hunter jumper circuit. Lester has competed and placed well in many disciplines including halter classes, English equitation, western equitation, bareback, hunter jumper classes up to 2'6, trail and even some speed events. He has also done dressage and cross country work. Lester has been in several parades and rides on the road without problem. He is a versatile horse who loves a challenge. Currently, Lester is being ridden for leisure at Topcrest Stables. He has a very mild case of arthritis in his neck which does not inhibit his performance in any way. He would be best suited for an intermediate-advanced rider who is looking for a flat mount or a horse to do lower level jumping with. He works very hard to compensate for rider error in the ring and has never in the six years I've owned him refused a fence. He is a great horse that I cannot say enough about. The lease price is negotiable since my primary goal is to place him where he'll be happy, not to make a profit. If you have any questions at all, please shoot me a message I'm happy to answer them!

About Grand Rapids, MI
For thousands of years, succeeding cultures of indigenous peoples occupied the area. Over 2000 years ago, people associated with the Hopewell culture occupied the Grand River Valley. Later, a tribe from the Ottawa River traveled to the Grand River valley, fighting three battles with the Prairie Indians who were established in the area. The tribe later split, with the Chippewas settling in the northern lower peninsula, the Pottawatomies staying south of the Kalamazoo River and the Ottawa staying in central Michigan. By the late 1600s, the Ottawa, who occupied territory around the Great Lakes and spoke one of the numerous Algonquian languages, moved into the Grand Rapids area and founded several villages along the Grand River.
