'Farmboy' - $1,500 - SOLD
5 yr. old un-papered Haflinger gelding. 14 hh.
Chestnut with flaxen mane/tail. Current coggins/vaccines/de-worming
As of Spring '09, Farmboy is broke to drive (see photos
below) and green broke under saddle. He is being
worked both English and Western at this time. He
has been through several horsemanship clinics with Mule,
and his training is ongoing. This gelding can be
somewhat aloof, but once you establish trust he bonds
and will seek out those he trusts for affection and
attention.
Farmboy has proven himself to be steady under many
circumstances where most horses might bolt, spook or
become reactive. He handles road riding, traffic,
headlights, dogs, cattle, clipping, all in stride.
He stands well for the farrier, ties, loads, bathes,
sprays, etc.
As the breed is notorious for, Farmboy is an easy
keeper. To avoid excessive weight gain his time on
lush pasture must be limited. He has done well
being allowed to graze 12 hours a day and then be put
up, no grain for this boy. His feet are excellent
and wear naturally when barefoot (as he is currently).
Farmboy will continue to undergo training at the ATH
Center and his price will go up as his training and
experience do. He is athletic, charming,
beautifully conformed and is well suited for a variety
of disciplines. He will suit a rider of almost any
size in spite of his height as he is incredibly sturdy
and strong, as is typical of his breed. |
