Imported gelding for sale. 13.3hh. Inky jet black. Littletree Matador, by Guards Jester. Guards Jester, 2015 - Supreme CH, Senior M&M In-Hand, Olympia Show, UK, is still going strong well into his 20s, with a nice show record (look him up on Instagram). Matador is a 2006 model. Location: Oregon, near Eugene. Has been shown in Mountain Trail shows and ranch riding classes, placed, trained early in life for trail and dressage. Professionally refreshed by a Kim Ewalt in 2021 for myself, though he has not been off of work for any long stretches in his life. He is nice on obstacles but would consider him a novice in this sport. His forte is trail, arena, ranch riding. Goes easily in arena as on trail, rides solo, English, Western, bareback, bitless (side pull) or loose ring snaffle. Barefoot, perfect hoof health. Jet black, and an easy keeper, out 24/7. He's not super hairy as he's out on rough pasture now, but when I got him he had a long forelock to the tip of his nose and a long mane, but his hair is fine and straight so on rough pasture, he's less hairy - this may be a nice thing for someone looking for zero maintenance. You can groom him at light speed. PPE recommended, he's been healthy for 3 years with me, zero issues, no special feed or care. Many of miles left in him. I take him horsecamping every year and can put anyone on him. Very gentle, old soul and as striking as they come, you will get the oh's and ah's when he enters the room. Trained to W/T/C though I am more of a W/T in focus. I ride him alone at the local trails. He will be fairly forward in larger groups or with horses he doesn't know, but with another horse that he knows well or two, more whoa than go type. He's not fancy in terms of lateral movement - he will do it, but I would say you get what you get with Matador at his age, enjoy him, but he would not be a candidate for someone that wants to do something he's never done as in a totally different discipline. He was shown in ranch riding classes too, does well around cattle, on a novice level, fun in clinics if that's your thing. He will "go" when asked as well, moves out if you ask. Well mannered, actually a dream, with farrier/vet - my farrier trims him untied or haltered at times. Good boy in my current herd of Fells. This is a heartbreaking decision, but I have too much on my plate right now and a young horse (not a Fell) I need to nurse back to health and a lot going on with training 4 youngsters and riding and showing my show mare. I'd like to make some changes in my situation before bad weather hits. He would be child friendly with supervision. UTD on it all, registered with passport in hand. I offer transfer of passport to new owner as all breeders and sellers should. Taking that project off your hands. Open to offers, with proof of good home to offer. Can assist with finding transport. https://vimeo.com/showcase/11408414
