Mason is a 10 year old, 17h puppy dog who would really like to be able to fit in your pocket. He’s the type of horse that every trainer wishes for their rider- kind, confident, calm, the same on and off farm, respectful on the ground, no baggage, handsome, and did I mention kind?

Mason started his life on the track, but with a couple slow starts he retired sound and went on to win the 2018 Thoroughbred Makeover with Tik Maynard. After that he spent some time in Florida doing some lower level hunters before moving up to NH. Once in NH, Mason has been owned by an AA who primarily rides hunters but has used him most for fun adventures like to the beach, trail rides, XC, and trail courses. His owner has decided to downsize her herd and since he’s built to go more like an Eventer/ dressage horse than a hunter it’s time for him to find someone else to enjoy him.

Mason is well trained at liberty, can go bridleless, and has spent the last 2 months ensuring that there are no holes in his flatwork under saddle. He has no baggage, and is gaining strength in the 1st & 2nd level lateral work. While his flat work has been the main focus lately, Mason is currently jumping 2’6 which seems quite small for him. With some good educational miles, he should easily go Novice soon and have no issues through Prelim at least. He’s brave and rideable to fences of all kinds. He’s safe for anyone to ride but he would benefit from being in a program that prioritizes straightness, suppleness and correct biomechanics of horse and rider. What he lacks in show miles, he makes up for in personality, rideability, and safety. He will take the right rider pretty far in the show ring, or make a non competitive person one heck of an adventure partner!

I can see Mason most enjoying a home doing Fox Hunting, eventing, dressage, or being an all around good boy for a nice rider. He is up to date on all vetting, wears plain front shoes, had a full set of clean X-rays when purchased by current owner, and likes having buddies in turn out.
