We're in Illinois.
: The first is a white 12 year old registered
: appy gelding, no spots. He was
: gelded at 4 years, and was bred to 1 mare.
: He has never been lame, and has
: no problems now except for needing a trim.
: He's current on shots, but
: needs to be wormed. He's got a nice
: personality, and his temperment is at
: a 4. He's very good natured and loves to be
: messed with. He's easy to
: catch out in the pasture. He's pastured
: right now with 5 other horses, and
: he's herd boss. He's not mean nor a bully,
: but he makes sure the others
: know he's boss. He bit me once as a two year
: old and has never bitten me
: since. I've only ridden him english, but he
: could learn western neck
: reigning fast. He picks up on things fairly
: fast, once he figures out what
: you want. His walk and trot are really
: smooth, and his canter is like
: riding a rocking horse. I've only ever done
: trot poles with him, no
: jumps. He did bolt with me once, he spooked
: at a chicken. He is easy to
: lead, loads fairly well in the daytime into
: a 3 horse slant. Stands calmly
: to be tacked up, stands for the farrier and
: vet, doesn't fuss too much
: about being wormed. I'd want an intermediate
: rider for him, since I
: haven't been able to ride for over a year
: and he'll need to be ridden and
: worked to get him back into shape. I bought
: him directly from the breeder
: as a weanling. I'm asking $500 for him
: since he won't need much work to
: get him back to been ridden regularly.
:
: The other one is a bay gelding, and I had
: him gelded at 1 year, and he's
: never bred a mare. He stepped on a nail as a
: yearling, and the vet and
: farrier have both pronounced him sound, and
: he has had no reoccuring
: problems. He was also chased by the
: neighbor's dogs as a weanling and now
: tends to be very suspicious of strange dogs.
: Once he gets used to them,
: he's ok. He's also ok with little dogs. He's
: never tried to kick me, he
: did intentionally bite me once and hasn't
: since. He's second rank in the
: pasture, and he can be aggressive with the
: other horses. As long as they
: give way when he approaches he doesn't go
: after them, but if they don't
: move fast enough he'll bite or chase them
: away. Luckily my other gelding
: is dominate, otherwise he'd be more of a
: problem. (The others make it too
: easy for him to be boss) He was green broke
: at 4 years, and has never been
: ridden since. He's easy to catch, leads
: well, stands quietly for the vet
: and farrier. He's actually better than Tyr,
: the white gelding, at standing
: for the farrier. I can tack him up and lunge
: him. Since he needs more
: training then Tyr, I only want $300 for him.
: He's Tyr's half brother, and
: out of my old TB mare.
