C.J. - 9 year-old chestnut Appendix gelding, well-trained, sound, responsive and willing worker. Needs patient handling and time to get to know his new environment and new people. Bathes, loads, trailers, stands for farrier, stands for regular vet care (not afraid of shots). Willing worker but needs experienced and able rider. Needs shoes all riding season.
TEMUJIN - 7 year-old dapple-gray Arabian gelding, sound, eager to learn, previously not handled with patience but has overcome many fears, needs steady hand. Trailers, bathes, ties, good on trail or in arena. Beautiful motion. Needs confident and patient rider, someone willing to work with a very beautiful and intelligent horse. Needs shoes all riding season.
SAVVY - 3 year-old grade quarterhorse, red roan, started under saddle this summer but needs lots more work soloing. Great under saddle when bridled but led by someone on ground, a little nervous when ridden solo, but willing to learn. No problem accepting bit and bridle. Trailers, bathes, stands for farrier. Very friendly and calm. Completely sound. So far, because of only light riding, has not been shod during riding season.
LEGO - 11 year-old American paint, seasoned trail and arena horse, used in 4-H for many years. Has mild arthritis in both stifles but does well with joint supplements and bute or aspirin on days he is being ridden. Requires joint injections twice yearly to maintain flexibility. Pleasing personality, confident horse. Recommended for light riding at walk/trot. Occasional canter on soft ground. Needs to be maintained in shoes all year round, wearing studded shoes in winter.
