Goose is an extremely quiet and easy going gelding that anyone can ride. He is currently being ridden by a 9 year old girl on trail rides. He will lead a trail ride or also be happy to bring up the rear. Goose doesn't care! Goose will cross creeks, ditches, logs, etc with no issues. He will walk/trot/lope but trotting/loping does take a little encouragement as he prefers to walk. He has never bucked, bolted, reared. He was previously used as a lesson horse before we bought him. We have owned Goose for a little over four years and it's time he find his next young rider or person to teach. He is a super friendly horse and comes running when you enter the pasture. He loves attention and treats! He loads/hauls perfectly and also stands for farrier, baths, fly spray, mounting, etc. He requires no maintenance and has never had any health issues.
