Additional Comments
Skeeter is a very broke ranch gelding that anyone can ride. We have had a very inexperienced rider on him and he was very forgiving. He has been used on a ranch, took the novice beginners riders on trail rides, used for lessons, and ponied horses on either side. He has previously been a family horse. He rides with a loose one-hand neck rein, a great backup, stop and he will ride off leg pressure. He is very smooth at the walk, trot, and canter.
He is used to trails and obstacle courses, walks over wooden bridges, pushes swinging pipes, rides over plastic bottles, walks up/down steps, and teeter-totters.... (read more) He has been ridden around the barrel pattern in the arena. He will let you carry a flag, open and close gates off of him, he has no problem walking across water/mud, down streams, through thick brush, he'll go up/down/across deep ditches and ravines, over fallen trees, through the woods with no spook. He is kid and dog-friendly, has great ground manners, is easy to catch, and gets along with our other horses, mares, and gelding alike.
Skeeter has great ground manners, is kid and dog friendly. Skeeter stands very well for being saddled and bridled, bathed, groomed, while being sprayed for flies, for picking his feet, standing tied, for being mounted (from the ground or a mounting block), and for the vet/farrier (he just had his feet trimmed). He loads and hauls very well. He is the type of horse that you can ride every day, once a week, or once a month, and he will ride the same.
Skeetre will be a great prospect for; trail riding, goat tying, ranch sorting, team penning, playdays, barrels, poles, little britches, drill team, parades, trail horse competitions, polo, western pleasure, walk-trot, lead line, a lesson horse, English, or just a great all around family horse. Skeeter is definitely a "Been There, Done That" type horse.
Skeeter is a stout made gelding with a handsome head and face, a kind eye, a strong thick neck and shoulder, a straight back, good withers with a wide chest and hip. He is very sweet and would be perfect for a child or an adult learning to ride, barrels, drill team, sort, or any other equine sport you'd like. He is a stout boy. If you are looking for a horse that can teach you or your child to ride, do playdays, go on trail rides, work the ranch, be the all-a-round horse then Skeeeter is your forever horse. Don't miss out on this handsome guy!!! He sells sound, sane, and safe. Please no outside trades, deposits, or payment plans.
