Chief is an 8 year old kentucky mountain horse gelding he is as friendly as a horse can be! Chief rides bareback or with a saddle.He has forward and reverse, he also has a nice and slow gait,trot ,lope. Chief was used as a guide horse for the most of his life so he rides with groups or single, he also loves trail rides chief will go over logs,underbridges, and straight through water without a second thought, he is also desensitized to dragging tarps and jugs. Although i would probably not set a first time rider on chief will still fit a beginner level rider. Currently Chief has shoes on and just had his teeth done. Feel free to come test ride this jolly gelding! BE SURE TO WATCH VIDEO!!
