Kevin is a handsome bay gelding with a wonderful, playful personality. He is considered green under saddle but one of our 14 year old lesson students has taken him on as her project. She is putting him through his paces and logging a variety of diverse miles. Together they have ridden all over the ranch - past farm animals, tractors, vehicles, and other horses. Kevin has been on trail rides and while he is still green on the trail, he is sensible and smart. Hes gone through obstacle courses under saddle and has drug a tarp. He has a smooth trot and canter and will pick up both leads with ease. We have found that Kevin does buck under saddle, we have sought out the cause and have found it not to be pain related. Our vets believe it is behavioral. Due to this, he will require an advanced rider or a professional trainer to continue his training. Kevin has great ground manners and truly enjoys being handled and groomed, but under saddle he is a touch rambunctious. Due to Kevins conformation, our veterinarians feel he would not excel under high intensity disciplines. This includes jumping, cutting, and reining. Adoption fee: $800 Height: 14.2 HH Maximum Carrying Weight: 210lbs (including tack and rider.)
