Here’s a stout, good-looking young colt with all the right pieces to make a solid using horse. Standing 14.2 hands, he’s built the way they’re supposed to be—good bone, deep-bodied, and athletic.
He’s had a handful of rides and has proven to be smart, willing, and eager to please. He catches easy, has a good mind, and picks up on new things quickly. He’s been started the right way and is ready for someone to continue his education.
He’s good for the farrier, though like any young horse he still has room to improve with more experience. Loads, hauls, and handles well.
With his build and disposition, I think he’ll excel as a ranch horse, rope horse, or all-around using horse. This is the kind of colt you can take home and finish your own way.
Young prospects with this kind of shape and attitude are getting harder to find.
