Big 10 Year Old Gelding

10 year old grade 16.3hh gelding. The Good: -Sweet in your pocket type -Low headset, VERY light in the face -Moves off leg, seat, voice and rein cues easily. -Good stop -On the slower/lazier side but still moves out easily -Smooth easy to sit gaits -Nice extended gaits too -Completed the mounted police horse school this year -Carried flags -Has had a rope swung off him and has tracked the heel-o-matic a couple of times -Great on trail alone and with others -Stands quietly for bath -Lunges on or off the line -Athletic -Good for farrier -Up to date on shoes, vaccines, deworming and had his teeth done about a year ago The “Needs Some Work”: -Hasn’t been hauled much and gets nervous in new areas but settles in quickly -Hasn’t been trail ridden much but does great on trail -Needs a confident rider in new situations to help him along or would be fine with a beginner who has a trainer or instructor -Needs encouragement to get into the trailer some days -Does best on a diet of grass hay and a few ulcer preventative supplements as he is prone to them I believe this boy would do really well in something like local/mid level ranch riding, western pleasure, trail classes, western/regular dressage, etc. Or just a wonderful horse to ride around at home or get some trail experience on him! He could also be used for a working ranch as he as a quiet demeanor and good brain. He’s hard not to fall in love with with his big goofy Great Dane-like personality. He has the makings of an incredible horse, just needs someone to haul and expose him to new things. Currently in training with a western performance horse trainer until he’s sold. Trainer like his work ethic and athleticism.
