Thoroughbred - Large - Adult - Male - Horse - jake
Description
Jake, 1991 TB gelding, sound, well trained, located in PA, note from current adopter who can't keep him for financial reasons: He is a 19yr old (no registration this is by teeth by the vet) 16.1hh thoroughbred cross gelding, Bay with star/slight stripe. No injuries, lameness, or health issues. He also didn't work well when we lived in the humid climate of Oklahoma, not crazy about flies, He is trained to the hilt but needs a refresher. Loves to trailride and is afraid of nothing on the trail. He is roadsafe and is usually the horse that crosses the creek, bridge, or goes past the scarry object first on the trail. He goes out alone of in a group. Loves to chase cattle although we have never had him in a formal team penning event. He does not neck rein presently. He goes off of seat, leg, hands, weight, whip, and spur. Although we rarely ever have to put a spur on him. I could probably count the times i have even wore them with him in the many years we have had him on one hand. No bad habits other then he will lip at you if you dont correct him for it. He has never offered to kick anything in his life. When my son was 4 he accidently ran into jakes back legs only to have jake turn and look at him. the barn owners son used to lead him too and from the pasture when the little boy was 5. He clips, ties, loads, crossties, dont really care to be in a stall but if u put another horse in the barn with him he is fine. Tends to attach himself to one mare in the pasture and when u take that mare away he gets a little dumb but if you take him away from the mare to ride he is just fine. He has had some parelli done with him and picked it up well. He is current on shots, worming, shoeing, and teeth floating. Easy keeper if you have good grass he only needs a wee amount of grain. He does not do well on rich hay, we found this out in wyoming, he gets really hyper. I would recommend an intermediate or advanced beginner until he gets back into the swing of things in the ring and a advanced intermediate on the trail for the same reason only. He does not act his age or know his age so dont let anyone be fooled by it. He rides in a huntseat, dressage, or western saddle. He is trained for huntseat on the flat and does jump. However, at his age I dont know if he would stay sound in an intense jumping training. However, he knows his job jumping and if you had someone learning and only jumping him a couple times a week he could teach them alot. he will take care of them. He also has attended dressage lessons and clinics with me. He is an excellent horse.
