Appaloosa Gelding for Sale in Bluffdale, UT

5-year-old, frosted red roan, appaloosa/quarter. He has a great build and is learning to use his body very well. He is well-tempered and gets along with all other horses. Not very good for loading, but he catches, ties, and sits in crossties well. He has jumped up to 2’. Has quite a bit of trail experience and loves it. He is very mature and acts well beyond his age. Totally bomb-proof. Haven't seen him spook once in the two years we’ve had him. He is a great hunter/jumper horse but has also been ridden western and english. He has shown well in english flat-work and jumping and is very flashy. He likes speed. He needs a rider with soft hands but is great at all gaits with the right rider Isn't very polite picking up his feet. He hasn't been loaded since he was 2 but he was a big pain to load then. Other than that no vices. He currently lives in a pasture with 2 other horses and is kind of a doormat. He gets bullied a bit but is an easy keeper so it doesn’t bother him much. Calmest horse I know. Loves everyone. Will literally fall asleep while you tack up. He would be a great family horse, showing/eventing horse, trail horse, or lesson horse. Is currently a family horse being ridden about 4 times a week in training and by the kids in our family (a 17 year old and 15 year old) Being sold at no fault of his own. Finances just don't allow us to keep him. Would prefer new owners meet him and test ride before buying, just to make sure its a perfect fit.

About Bluffdale, UT

Bluffdale, named for its geography of bluffs and dales, was first settled in 1848–1849 when the area was originally part of West Jordan. On July 29, 1858, Orrin Porter Rockwell paid five- hundred dollars to Evan M. Green for sixteen acres of land near to the Crystal Hot Lakes (adjacent to the present Utah State Prison). This land included Hot Springs Hotel and Brewery with dining facilities, stable, brewery, and pony express station. As the community expanded, the Bluffdale area became part of South Jordan, then Riverton.
