I'm not selling him. It might be a possibility in the near future.. So I figured I'd get some opinions from the HF Pros:)

Stellar Moves (Moose) is a 17.3 2003 registered AQHA bay gelding out of Starman SL (by Artful Move). He has 200+ points in open, youth, novice youth, and novice amateur English events, and is Incentive Fund nominated (he has accumulated over 100$ in IF money in 2009). Moose is an in-your-pocket kind of horse with a million dollar personality. He is great with little kids, and anyone can ride him. Moose is the point-and-go jumper, automatic lead changes, spots, and gorgeous around the arena. Has the classic long, flowy stride and practically lopes down the lines. He is very forgiving, has the patience of a saint, and is your typical baby sitter. He shows normally in 2'9-3'6 classes, and has done well at the few hunter shows that he has gone to. Moose is extremely quite and broke, he goes straight from the jumper arena, to the hunter arena and does great in both. He has also dome some level 0 and level 1 grand prix at some schooling shows, and has won the level 0 out of 20 other horses, and got 6th out of 30 in the level one. He is the ULTIMATE equitation horse, both over fences and on the flat. Has all the assets, and performs them willingly and beautifully. He has been shown and ridden by very VERY beginner riders, and took care of them beautifully (we had a 9 year old little girl, very VERY short jump him 2'9 fences, he jumped everything perfectly, and was an angel). He would be great for any level of rider. He is willing, talented, and beautiful. He hauls like a dream, stands for the vet and farrier, and is the braider's dream. No fake tail needed, stands without crossties, and gets along great with other horses (he's extremely friendly!)

Some of Moose's accomplishments are:
-2010 All American Quarter Horse Congress Champion youth jumping (world's largest single-breed horse show)
-2010 All American Quarter Horse Congress Finalist novice youth hunter hack
-2010 Year End National Honor Roll Reserve Champion youth jumping, youth limited equitation over fences, and youth limited jumping
-Youth Performance ROM and Open Performance ROM
-Nationally qualified for the 2009-2011 AQHYA World Championship Show
-Multiple FQHA Year End High Point and Reserve High Point champion
-Multiple Circuit Champion
-2009 AQHYA World Show Top 20 Equitation Over Fences
-2009 AQHYA World Show Top 30 Working Hunter
-2009 Year End National Honor Roll 3rd Place Youth Jumping

Are you sure that he's 17.3hh? I'm not trying to be rude, but that's very unusual for a Quarter Horse. It's big for any horse for that matter.
Other than that, I think he's lovely :).

He is a MAJOR sweetheart. He's the kind who just wants to be touched. Whenever I stand in from of his stall, and I don't give him attention, he does things like shake his buckets or bob his head to get attention. And he always come up to anyone who walks up to his stall to say hello:) He's very gentle with kids, and hes always a major favorite at summer camp! Kids were learning how to bridle on him!

Haha well thank you! I was hopping for more than 25thousand for him.. That's what horses with his record and abilities are going for in my area.. He might even be worth more, but it all just depends on who writes the check.:)

Holy cow!! you cant get rid of horses here now there going as low as £300 and there good horses that before the recession would have sold for 10x that ! the only horse that i know of that went for over 10000 was a 17.2 german warmblood that came from a top dressage place in germany . He was 50,000! i would never pay that for a horse unless i won the lottery lol he is an amazing horse , he is such a gentleman and he has so much character! he is so majestic and gentle .

Eeew! 17.3!
I had a mare that was 16.3 & had a hell of a time just getting in the saddle! Swore i'd never get a horse that tall again **** though i do love the look of tall horses & it's so fun to be on them!
Personally, i think your guy's lovely though ;)

He looks like an awesome horse!

Personally, I wouldn't buy him, just because I'm WAY too short to sit comfortably on him, plus he looks like he has fun jumping and I'm more of a dressage girl myself. I'm also at the point where I can buy a horse that requires more training, and he looks like he's made.

If the time does come, you'll definitely be able to sell him at whatever price range you decide on. He will be the perfect horse for many people. Good job with him!

Thanks so much! He is made over fences.. I don't think he'd so so well in the dressage arena, but then again ive never tried it with him! The owner before me did some dressage.. Maybe that's why he's so good at leg yields (I think that's dressage? Sorry if I'm wrong!) and pivots! But thanks a lot, again:)

Not to be rude or anything, but why do you constantly post pictures of your horse in several different threads in several different areas on the board asking the exact same thing "would you buy my horse?"

You've posted like, 3 threads in the critique section on your horse and if people would buy him and how much they would pay, etc and they all have the same pictures and videos and everything. There is nothing new in any of the threads and you constantly keep bumping them up even though you have gotten plenty of replies and the same feedback (because you keep showing the same pictures).

Yes, your horse is accomplished.
Yes, your horse is pretty.
Yes, you are lucky to have him.
But it seems like in every single thread all you want is people to gush over your horse and tell you how wonderful he is.
This forum is for sharing your horse and such, but it gets a little annoying when you post the same pictures, same videos, same threads and keep bumping up your thread expecting a million replys. Post just one thread about your horse and keep it at that, unless you have something new for us to see. Cause it really seems like your just bragging and wanting us to tell you how amazing and gorgeous your horse is.

Again, not to be rude but just something to keep in mind when your wondering why people don't respond to your threads as much as you'd like them to.

And have you looked at the dates of the threads? They are OLD. I did not bump this one up, someone commented on it and I responded. That's it. I was done with this thread. I haven't even been on the forum for a week or so.

No more comments on this thread please.

how come you stick so much stuff on his face?? he looks like hes had his head dunked in Vaseline, kind of gross in my opinion, is a bit like the Arabs with the shaved eyes.. kind of funky looking He'd look so much nicer without all that stuff all over him. But then im not really one for that look , nor the over the top makeup. Other than that hes a nice looking horse but I wouldent pay anywhere near 25,000USD though.
each to their own I suppose...

Agree with above though , the photo bombs are a bit annoying , wouldn't mind so much if they were different photos , or looking for something other than 'tell my horse is pretty/awsom' threads - you might get some more replies too without having to constantly boost them.

If you notice above, the last time I bumped it was over a month ago, someone commented on it. It was way down on my thread list.

We only put the gasoline on his face for one class at the congress, other than that I never put anything on his face.


As for this thread, I don't want any more comments on it.
