NEW VIDEO ADDED* If you're looking for a phenomenal sport pony project, this is your guy! Meet Chief (AMHA registered as UC Commander), a two year old registered Morgan gelding by the winning stallion, UC Domination and out of the mare Friend Charity Rose. He was bred and born at University of Connecticut and is a great combination of foundation and government bloodlines known for their good working minds. This handsome young man displays all of the characteristics that have made the Morgan breed so well loved; he is brave, inquisitive, gentle and kind in addition to being a lovely mover in a correct, compact body. Chief is expected to mature to 14.2h, which makes him an ideal size for a smaller adult or junior rider. His all around "sporty" build and natural athleticism is telltale of a horse who has a promising career in the dressage, jumper or eventing fields. Would make a phenomenal project to bring along however you want!!! His bold and curious nature makes him a pleasure to be around. He always wants to know what you're doing, and if he can help! This boy is brave, brave, BRAVE! He has seen flags, tarps, dirt bikes, leaf blowers, etc. and he hasn't been bothered or phased by any of it. We are working to desensitize him to as much as possible and he makes it super easy, because he simply just isn't bothered by anything! He is such a sweet horse and is always looking to interact with the people and horses around him. He will even "play" in the paddock with my six year old son. It's adorable. He loves to be groomed and fussed over, and getting his bum scratched is his absolute favorite thing! Chief is equally as handsome as he is kind and personable. He is very well put together with a strong hind end, short back, well set neck and terrific feet. It doesn't hurt that he happens to have a stunningly long mane and tail, too!!! He has a lovely reach with his shoulder and absolutely floats across the ground when he moves. Chief has been started on the lunge line and the long lines, and is learning how to do all the "big horse things" in preparation for his riding and/or driving career. He has also been very lightly and carefully backed and has been absolutely perfect throughout the process as if he's done it a million times. Chief is a quick learner who I feel will progress quickly in a program centered on riding or driving. He loves to work and learn and is very engaged with his handler when working. He is great for baths, fly spray and picks up all 4 feet like a gentleman and is a very, very good boy for the farrier. Loads and unloads from the trailer like a pro. If you're looking for a smaller horse who has a BIG future, he's your guy. Train him the way you want to! Gelded 12/12/2023. Clean PPE on file (done by Tufts) from 4/10/2024. UTD on all vaccines, dewormer and has a current negative Coggins. Barefoot and UTD on trims. He's ready to bring home today! Please call for information
