Saddlebred Gelding for Sale in Godwin, NC
Jack aka Houdini is a Saddlebred gelding. He is UTD on everything except a visit from the farrier.
Asking $960 if you take him as is, and $1000 if he is trimmed before he leaves. I am going to try and get him trimmed soon but with my schedule it can be a little tough.
I got a few new horses last month to work with but the only thing Jack really needs is time under the saddle! His previous owner just had him out in the pasture for two years with one other horse and some cows. I am away at school during the week so only have been able to work with him over the weekends but I have seen improvement already. He is not hard to catch in the pasture and he takes the bit easily. He picks up his feet and stands to be saddled. He does not like to take the tube of wormer, but seemed to eat it when mixed in his food. The first couple weekends I just spent time with him on the ground and finally last weekend I hopped in the saddle not knowing what to expect but he did great. The link of the video is this first ride. His previous owner said he was a great, surefooted trail horse and was even a buggy horse as a 2-3 year old.
He is a sweet horse but higher up in the pecking order when in the pasture. Pastured with the mare he has been with the last few years he does fine but when I tried to put my gelding out with them he chased him around a while. So I would suggest putting him with horses that will stand their ground.
