PINT
is a seven year old registered Appaloosa gelding (mostly
white, just a few spots!). He is approximately 14.2h. He
would make a great mount for a small adult
(I'm
about 5'7" and fit him fine) or a C or D-level pony
clubber. He's a super jumper, nice mover, and has been
taught great ground manners by his owner, who does a lot
of natural horsemanship training with all her young
charges.
He is a sweet,
affectionate guy who needs an owner to bond with him,
love him, and compete him (he enjoys it!).
Pint has done
several local schooling shows over the last 2-3 years
where he's always finished well. In 2007 he entered his
first USEA horse trial, May-Daze, at the Kentucky Horse
Park, where he finished on his dressage score of 28 in a
Novice Horse division of 24 horses, earning him 3rd
place. He followed that up by completing a Training
Division at Leg-Up Schooling Horse Trials at Hoosier
Horse Park, where he had one of just a few clean
showjumping rounds.
He has schooled
multiple times at the Kentucky Horse Park and has easily
and
happily
schooled preliminary heights and questions. With the
right rider, he will have no problem doing prelim level
events.
He has always been
sound and is an easy keeper other than needing to keep
him out of the hot summer sun, since he's so white. He
has no vices; trailers well, cross ties, etc. The only
thing that worried him was the golf carts at May- Daze.
By the end of the weekend he was getting used to them as
long as they didn't fly up behind him and surprise him,
but he'll need a little help getting conditioned to
having them around.
We plan to
continue to enter him in a few horse trials for 2008
until he finds that perfect new home where he can live
up to his potential.
