Draft X Gelding - $9,500 (Duncannon)
QR Code Link to This Post
I have owned him since he was a weanling, and know his breeder personally.
Up to date on vaccines, annual exams, dental, farrier, deworming. Records can be transferred to new owner. Goes barefoot with no issues. Has big solid feet!
He was lightly started at 3 years old, then allowed to sit and fully grow for long term health development as a draft x, as recommended by the vet. He is ready to be started now! He is a beautiful mover, and very responsive to training. He’s been kept exercised with regular ground work through the end of summer. Pastures well with geldings, mares, and currently is best friends with a donkey. Kind to all animals…goats, chickens, dogs, cats. First to greet you at the gate, puppy dog type. Extremely food motivated. Stands for vet and farrier, cross ties, trailers well (we hauled him everywhere with us when he was little to get him exposure…he even regularly went to the ice cream shop!), takes a blanket, saddle, bridle. Currently lives outside 24/7, but stalls well, and keeps his area clean! He’s had a great foundation, and is ready to move on to training for his future career. I can see him excelling in numerous disciplines.
Has been fed Triple Crown Balancer Gold to maintain nutrition since he turned 2, but gets fat off air and does not require any grain to maintain weight.
Negatives: he does have a mild case of sweet itch (a mild allergic reaction to biting midges during the summer months), which is easily treated with an OTC allergy med added to his feed from April-September. He can be pushy, but will respect a dominant owner. I personally have no issues with him whatsoever, but he will test you at first.
Only selling due to my personal health condition which prohibits me from riding. He’s too good of a horse to sit as a pasture pet for the rest of his life. Price is slightly negotiable to the right home, but will not entertain low ball offers. I have too much money into him and do not need to sell.
Contact me if you have serious interest only. NO, you cannot test ride him, as stated, he needs restarted! No exceptions. No trials. Good home only. Vet references will be required before sale.
Located in Duncannon PA, approximately 25 minutes from downtown Harrisburg.
