Sorry I made like a million posts! What kind of things would you think about using him for? trails, shows?

He has a faster trot but doesn't go any faster unless you ask him too! (he'd rather just go the easier pace:)) He has a soft mouth and currently I am working at him not dipping his shoulder down around tighter turns.

Good with farrier, chiropractor, bathes, stands tied, trailers well

If you have ANY more questions let me know!:)

Colt is 10 yrs old, 16 hh and unregisterd although we have the papers to! We have had him since he was a baby and he is sweet boy. He can be grumpy to other horses but is great with people! never kicked, bit, struck. He is slightly pigeon toed (no high jumping) but will jump lower stuff. He is VERY stout but doesn't really get very fat but always stays at a good weight. He had been a trail horse for awhile but became my English horse and we have a ball:) Very good on trails, and being alone. He rides English and western! Will pick up right lead when encouraged but wont automatically pick the right one. Recently had another 30 days put on him by a WONDERFUL trainer just to refine him. He was started at 2 years but this 30 was just a refiner. Sorry it took so long to reply!

wow.. I think I lucked out in my cold call of a farrier... About (http://www.hoofpros.com/about.html) I wound up talking to Pat Burton..lol.. who is going to meet me at the barn at 8 am... ...

ouch.. that sucks. Ima gonna do some calling around and see if any local farrier will meet me out there in the am. kinda short notice tho, so I may have to go on guts.

I would love this guy as a gelding. As a stallion..not so much. If he's gentle and has been handled ALOT, he could make a decent riding horse. If all he's only been a breeder and never really used......

Just me, but this isn't a horse I would hope to do a lot of jumping. Kinda weak in the rear, heavy in front, thick and stocky, hard to collect with that low neck set. He could do some, but not show...

I agree about his shoulder, little steeper than I like. might be a little harder to collect than one with a better neckset/shoulder angle, but otherwise he would seem to be a good riding horse to me.

I was thinking if she was decent for me, I would make an offer on the paint. not 2K, but something reasonable given prices locally, ya know?

hmm.. this one is a shire/paint cross... 2 coming 3 http://www.equinehits.com/photos/09/horses/354200x3.jpg

2431 for me. 2 only problem area is rear legs, maybe an under-muscled neck. Good carriage and neck set, short back and nice forehand with a decent rear end for an engine. Not as slicked up as...

If you actually look at the ad, there is 4 pics of the horse, the yearling one, as about a 2-3 yo and then grown and one on a trail ride. She seems pretty nice for a $500 horse, actually. IMHO..of...

Not together, but hopefully you get the idea. This is me last year, about 40 lbs lighter (gah..) http://www.horseforum.com/members/38116/album/me-myself-i-4952/me-oct-2011-around-260-270-33746.jpg...

Well, I went and bought Lucy Inthe Skhy. She is so sweet, and now safely ensconced here. I'm uploading a couple of photos for general critiquing and ideas for her, if you would. We are calling her...
