Charlie Brown is ready to enjoy life with his new person! 15 yo, 15.2hh solid built draft cross gelding, well broke and safe for riding AND driving. Spent last year doing mostly driving then sat in a field for a while, so he’s been getting back into shape and doing great! 3 lovely gaits that are pleasant to ride, starting to show his fancy as he builds muscle! Rides out on trails alone or in groups, has been out Fox hunting and loves it, polite anywhere in the group and has had hounds run right under him with no problem, doesn’t fuss when the group gets ahead, great with water/gates/ditches/roads/traffic/cows/hills/logs etc. He’s pleasantly forward so maybe not for someone who wants a kick ride, but he’s easily rated and stands quite nicely at checks. He takes everything in but thinks things through and doesn’t spook or pull anything naughty. Jumping up to 2’ so far and has been quite brave and unbothered. Has also done some obstacles! Has been to his first away show and was a perfect gentleman in his stall and never misbehaved in the ring, improving every time he went in! I think he’ll excel in eventing- he loves jumping, hasn’t questioned anything while on the trail, including jumping ditches and water, logs across the path, etc. He’s a forward thinker and responsive to leg, but easily keeps a steady tempo, and is mature and safe enough not to pull silly shenanigans. Has a current coggins and is up to date on all vaccines, deworming, and recent dental.
