Meet Gryffindor! Gryff is as sweet & personable as they come. He is a bay, 2008 quarter horse warmblood cross standing at 16hh. Gryff has a training background of English/dressage. Riding level is an advanced intermediate. He needs a confident, strong rider as he is driven fully through leg aids. Gryff would do best with mostly one rider only - he is not ideal for frequent changes in riders. He does seem to ride better in just a halter with reins attached, as opposed to a bit - he is very soft and respectful. Gryff does know how to lunge, but needs work. Unfortunately, he does have arthritis in his hocks, but is serviceably sound. With this, lighter riding with a balanced rider would be best for him. Willing to walk, trot and canter quietly under saddle; and rides almost the same every time you pull him out of the stall with no lunge prior necessary. He does well on the ground with a stern leader as shown in videos, although he does paw in the crossties. Lower on the totem pole as far as turnout. No matter what, he is eager to please. Come meet this kind boy! He is currently located in Bellefontaine, Ohio.
