I posted this on a different thread, but thought I would get all your opinions as well.
I am considering 3 horses right now. All are easy keepers (mustangs- gentled - no blankets needed, hay/grass pasture only diet, no shoes, no lameness issues, no colic issues, hardy and healthy).
Thoughts??
Above is Vinnie. He is about 15.2hh, super drafty. A bit nervous with people still, as they are still working with him (he came from a neglect situation). He is around 7 or 8 years old. He is great to work with on the ground and beautiful in person (pictures cannot express his presence in person). He is easy to lead, easy to handle. A little hard to catch. NOT started under saddle yet, but ready to start and has been lunged.
Above is Dillon. He is also around 15.2hh, and super drafty (the guy in the picture is 6'7" - making Dillon look small!). He also came from a SEVERE abuse situation, but he is an absolute love bug now. He is around 8 years old. He will come he sees you at the gate, and loves to be patted and loved on. He gets excited and can playfully nip, which is being worked on right now (he did to it to me when I was there). He is NOT started under saddle either, but ready to start.
This is Dood. He is 15h, and 12 years old. He is a Buckskin Appaloosa with changing colors with the seasons. He is saddle trained, but hasn't been ridden much (only a handful of times over the past few years, but said to never put up a fight when resaddling or working with him). He can be hard to catch at times as well.
I will try to attach more pictures of Dood, as his is the hardest to see.
I have met Dillon and Vinnie and love them, I will be meeting Dood this month. My husband likes the looks of Dillon the best, but I know we cannot all go on looks!
