Wow. This afternoon someone called telling us they'd like to trade their horse for the Paint Clydesdale I have for sale. I'm REALLY excited. This guy's horse is a 16hh mare....dapple gray I think he said, he didn't say her breed but he said she parks out like a TWH. I'm not sure if she's registered. She rides English and Western, and does BRIDLELESS, which I'm really excited about. I've always wanted to own a bridleless-riding horse
. She's four years old but good and broke. The owner bred and trained her; he wants my Clydesdale in exchange because he sees prospect in him.
I'm going to test ride her this weekend, most likely just Western because that's my primary riding style. I'm going to ask to ride her bridleless while I'm there as well, though, to make sure she's good and reliable in a pen before I take her out on my trails.
If she rides well, has good ground manners and no major conformation faults, I'm most likely trading my Clydesdale for her. I'll post pics of her when I test-ride her this weekend. So excited lol! I'm wary, though, because the last time I bought a horse (that would be my Paint Clydesdale) he ended up being a total wreck. Doesn't let you trim his hooves, pick his hooves, he kicks, bites.....ugh. The trainer who owns the mare thinks he can solve his problems and make him into a good riding horse, so I'm more than willing to sell up. I'll post pics, maybe a video, this weekend! Lol I'm just so excited I couldn't wait to post this haha
