i also have a draft/paint horse. i think he's awesome. i've always wanted one, and my husband bought him for me last year. i have a trainer that is absolutely unbelievable. it only took him two days to get him started for me. and is a totally different horse. he is very managable and i ride him down the road. i don't know if you still have stricker, but if you do, let me know. lori-texas
: 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.
