"Spirit" is an unregistered Quarter Horse,
line-back dun gelding. He is very heavily muscled and powerful for his
size. His cutting bloodlines are evident in his lightning quick speed and
maneuverability. He is very athletic, extremely sensitive and catty—
would do well in any kind of cow work or amateur reining/cutting events.
Unfortunately, due to an old injury, he has sesamoiditis issues that
periodically flare up. He will most likely never be able to be used
competitively or do heavy cantering, however he has been holding up very well in his current
training of walk, trot, and light canter 4-5 days a week and has been on
several trail rides recently with no problems.
Excellent ground manners, trailer loads
nicely, stands for farrier, and ties well. Currently training in Parelli
Natural Horsemanship Advanced Level 3 Ground Skills & Level 1/2 Riding
Skills. Is typically LBE (left-brained extrovert) most of the time but has
some introvert tendancies. He was started under saddle late in life
(2009/2010) by Chris and then was put on a 9-month pasture rest shortly
after arriving home May 2010, so he's still pretty green and would do best
with an experienced rider.
