: I'm located in west central wi and drive to
: Ia, quite a bit so I was wondering if you
: could send me a picture of Striker. I ride
: western so I was wondering if you think
: switching him into a western saddle would be
: an issue. It sounds like he's going to need
: some work on his mounting and dismounting so
: maybe just starting over would be the best
: bet for him. Anyway my email is

: Striker is a very pretty bay/white draft
: cross. About 16hh, has been ridden english
: and on trails. He's done some jumping in
: the arena and cross-country. So far he has
: jumped everything I've asked. I purchased
: him with the intention of riding him
: dressage, he is collecting well at the trot
: but his canter still needs some work. On
: trails he rides out alone and is a great
: trail horse.
:
: He does needs an experienced horse person
: because he is hard to get along with on the
: ground. He hates clippers and shots; when
: you mount he will bolt forward if you hit
: him in the side, when I use a mounting block
: I don't have problems. When you dismount
: right now he is jumping back and to the
: side. He is not consistent though, one time
: when you dismount he stand perfectly still
: and the next he will jump back. He can also
: be hard to catch if not kept in a dry lot or
: stall. His issues get better when being
: worked consistently which I don't have the
: time for. I really believe for the right
: person Striker could be a great horse. He
: is going to needs someone with patience and
: time to work with him. He is free for this
: reason; I really want him to find a good
: home. Pictures available.
