Bay Bashkir Curly Gelding

Calling all 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭! If you’ve been searching for a simple, safe, smooth-moving horse with that “been there, done that” attitude that allows you to 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧, Sinatra is your man. In the arena and out, Sinatra is the same quiet-minded, gentle ride that anyone can safely enjoy. He is a dream to flat, brave and honest over fences, and a reliable partner on the trails. He truly is a gelding that checks every box! Sinatra is a 6-year-old Bashkir Curly/Warmblood/Draft cross gelding standing 16.1 hands high. Everything we have done with this horse has been filled with laughter and smiles. He is not only fun and willing for every job, but he keeps his rider confident. Big new fences on the cross-country course, deep water, steep hills, riding off property in new places- all are a walk in the park for Sinatra. Hop off the trailer, and he’ll ride around anywhere like he’s been there his whole life. Whether your goals include the show ring, moving up, or building back your confidence in walk-trot lessons at home, he will be there at your speed to help you reach them. In the ring, Sinatra is a barn favorite. He has three beautiful gaits that are extremely smooth and easy to sit. His transitions are smooth; he is soft in the bridle and is the perfect mix of whoa and go. This is the type of horse that can get along with practically any rider. He has the athletic ability and movement for a rider with show ring aspirations, and the quiet mind and tolerance for a timid or nervous amateur who needs a horse that can take a joke. He has offered flying changes, has a good understanding of lateral work, and great brakes. He is putting together small courses in the ring and jumping around B/N with scope for more on the cross-country field. This horse is brave, honest, and has all of the makings of a super event partner, hunter, working equitation, or straight dressage partner. Off property and on the trails, Sinatra is steady and sure-footed. We have taken him all over the tri-state area to school, lessons, and trail rides. He rides well alone or in a group and is happy to lead the way for less confident horses. He crosses water and bridges easily, is safe in traffic, and is used to loud farm machinery, airplanes, and other livestock. He’s used to loading up in the trailer and going places. He’s fantastic off property and requires no prep. In the barn, Sinatra is easy to get along with. He enjoys being around his people and is a gentleman for all the usual barn activities. He lives out in a mixed herd and is an easy keeper. Sinatra requires no maintenance, is barefoot, and has no vices. OPEN BIDDING ON THEHORSEBAY.COM ENDS ON 11/18 @ 6:50 PM CT.
