5year old gelding,He is over my budget lady will not back down off of $4000.He was an absolute wonder to ride..Never been on a more bomb proof horse in all my life
Cute, but he's pacing and step pacing in that video. What makes him worth $4,000 if he doesn't walk? The most important thing to a gaited horse is their gait.
Some people don't mind a pacer, especially for trails. If you ever wanted to show or re-sell him, the pacing is going to be a problem.
well after a long night of negotiations i bought him.I am buying this horse because after all the horses i have been on looking for a walker i have been less then happy but me and this horse meshed and there was no hiding that when i was on him.Shes gonna let me pay it out pending a vet check so anywho.Ive been looking for a while and i thank yall for yalls help.If it hadnt been for you guys i would have bought a horse that i was not happy with to begin with.
So i am happy with this one im just not trilled about his price.
This is Mr Right Now
I agree with not parking him that far. The front legs should still be under the horse, with the back legs just a little back. I actually don't park mine to mount anyway, since it is hard on their backs. :wink: I like it about like this...
If you want to break that pace, we can certainly help. I'm re-habing my pacer now.
I somehow missed how old he is....but my concern would be if these people raised him they may have taught him to park to this extreme early. Couldn't that lead to issues later? Just like anything done too much too early......Reiners, h/j, etc......
Diegosmom, I want to congratulate you on the purchase of your horse. Any horse is only worth what someone will pay and to you, your new boy is worth what you gave to you or you would have passed.
