Tennessee Walking Gelding for Sale in Wildwood, MO
He has many trail miles and has been exposed to a lot of different things. I love taking rides in my subdivision to find anything “scary” that we can practice being brave. My command to my horse is…” Put your nose on it”, and they are not allowed to leave the thing until doing so. I watch the wheels turn in their head as they see something they might be concerned about, and then they bravely walk up with their nose out.
In the pecking order, I would put him in the middle of the herd. He gets along well with mares and geldings. He trailers well alone or with another horse. He is more than willing to pony babies or multiple horses.
He ties, cross ties, stands well for the farrier, grooming and tacking up. He stands well for mounting and will skivvy up to the mounting block or a fence, bench, or log to get on. He will “pony” another horse(s) or be “ponied” with ease.
He has all the basic training: side pass, back up, leg yields, flat walk, running walk, canter. He is surefooted up and downhills. He chooses his hoof placement carefully. He will go through puddles, creeks, and large bodies of water. He has learned to “pee on command” before he comes into his stall for the night. I also like being able to have Duke pee before we start a long ride. They ride more comfortably.
Duke is good with dogs and happily allows my 15 yr old Jack Russel to ride up in the saddle when he is tired. In groups, he will lead, go in the middle, or last. He has more whoa than go. He is very enjoyable to ride ambling down the trail.
