Solid built, foundation style, and very nice gait. He is road safe and has been my trail horse the last 2 years. Great manners, stands for mounting. Loads and unloads great. No buck, rear, bolt, or bite. Not a dead head, needs a confident rider. Responds with slight contact never have to be rough in his mouth. Willing to please. Selling grade never got his papers.
About Oakdale, TN
Oakdale was originally known as "Honeycutt" after an early settler, Allen Honeycutt. In the 1880s, the Cincinnati Southern Railway, which connected Chattanooga and Cincinnati, was built through the area, intersecting the vast system of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad (later the Southern Railway) at Emory Gap near Harriman. Allen Honeycutt donated land to the railroad for construction of a switching point. In 1892, the name of the town was changed to "Oakdale" after a nearby mining operation. The stretch of the Cincinnati Southern from Oakdale to Somerset, Kentucky, involves steep grades that were too difficult for normal late-19th and early-20th century steam-powered locomotives, so a railyard was set up at Oakdale where trains were modified to allow them to make the trek north.
