Hello, my name is Joe, and I am 15 years old and 14.2h. I’ve been a significant part of Tom & Denise’s life for over five years. I am a beautiful red roan GAITED CURLY MFT Gelding. Yep, I am unique & RARE! Denise says I am a very special curly horse and promised to work hard to make sure I find the perfect home. =] So, about me: I am very relational! I love humans as well as my herd mates, and I get along and bond easily. I really love kids, and I love to be brushed. Denise calls me her “greeter,” as anyone can come into the pasture at any time, and I am the first to approach and last to leave. Catch me anywhere…..well, heck, I’ll catch you! Denise would come into the corral a few times and read a book, and I’d stand beside her and fall asleep. I love to be close to my humans!! Denise has exposed me to many things that SHE feels are scary, but they aren’t at all scary to me! Umbrellas, tarps, dead animals, dragging plastic bags, cows, traffic, tractors, bikes…I even LOVE baths! Denise uses warm water, though, and I really like that. If you want a ploddy, dull horse, that is not me. I am not like Denise’s other curly Bear. I can outwalk that old guy any day and find him boring! I have heard it said that I am “fun & forward.” Yep, that’s me! Personality plus! But I also take my job with my human very seriously. I love any and all people, young and old, BUT, for me and my human to be happy, I need a good rider who is comfortable with a more forward horse. If you pull too much on my mouth or use too much rein, I will toss my head and get braced. Just let me go, and I’ll take care of you! I love water, rode the beaches, and will walk over bridges, through creeks, and anywhere you point me! I am also respectful of the horses around me. I enjoy dogs on the trail with me. If they are in my pasture, I might act silly and chase them a little because I think it’s funny! I’d never hurt them! Denise says I have excellent ground manners! I am not pushy and respond lightly to ground aids. I will also stand tied for hours without fuss. I enjoy trailer rides, even if I am hauled by myself. I am great with the vet, dentist, and farrier; they really like me! My ideal living situation would be outdoor living with a run-in or shelter. I am respectful of any and all fencing. I don’t mind a stall, but I am a tough guy and prefer being outside and breathing the fresh air! ….and especially being together with my buddies. I have been with Denise and Tom for approximately five years. When I came to their home, I had no history of my sire or dam, but Denise worked super hard to help me find them. They found my sire through three DNA tests: ABCR, ICHO, and the MFTHA! Walker’s Prince T no II. I carry the SP6
