Paint Gelding for Sale in Lehighton, PA
Ben is a 10-12 year old draft cross gelding with a to die for long mane and tail, perfect for playing with. He is super sweet and loves getting attention. He stands to be groomed, braided, bathed, and for the farrier (picks his feet right up at a word). No biting, kicking, ear pinning, or cribbing. He is currently barefoot and has been for the past year or two and is perfectly sound. He walk, trots, and canters and is smooth in all gaits. Ben has not had much work since my injury two years ago but he is a good guy and just needs a person of his own to help him get back into the swing of things. He is not a bucker or a rearer, but has exhibited the want to go his own way when he is being fresh. So I would say he probably needs an intermediate rider or a confident beginner, someone who can assert themselves. We hate to see him go, but I am unable to devote the time and energy to him that he needs and deserves.

About Lehighton, PA
At the time of the first European's encounters with historic American Indian tribes, this area was part of the shared hunting territory of the Iroquoian Susquehannock and the Algonquian Lenape (also called the Delaware, after their language and territory along the Delaware River) peoples, who were often at odds. Relatives of the peoples of New England and along the St. Lawrence valley of Canada, the Delaware bands occupied much of the coastal mid-Atlantic area in Delaware, New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania and lower eastern New York, including Long Island. The Susquehannock confederacy's homelands were mainly along the Susquehanna River, from the Mohawk Valley in lower New York southerly to the Chesapeake and Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, but may have ranged into the 'empty lands' of West Virginia, Eastern Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania. The Dutch and Swedes first settled the Delaware Valley, and found the area north of the Lehigh Gap to be lightly occupied, probably by transients, but traveled regularly by the Susquehannock.
