Hey Nikki sorry I erased your email addy so I figured I just post back here. I talked to different friends of mine and right now neither one can drive that far for a horse.. It's over 400 miles of us... I really hope you find a good home for him.. If you get really desprete to find him a home email me again and maybe if you can help with part of the hauling my friend Becci said she'd love to have him but it's so far... HOpe to here from you again.. keep me posted on striker. THanks Natalie
: 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.
