Additional Comments
Butterscotch is a big loveable teddybear palomino gelding standing 14hh, but he is STOUT and can easily carry a 250lb. rider. He is a been there-and-done that type horse. Beginner riders will have no problem riding this sweet boy. Butterscotch has been used as a trail and family horse. We have recently been using him to teach a teenage girl how to ride. He carries himself very well and rides on a loose one hand neck rein, he has a good backup, and stop.... (read more) He is very smooth at the walk, trot, and a canter that is nice and easy.
Butterscotch has no problem with you carrying a flag, opening/closing gates, he will walk down streams, and over fallen trees, he will walk over plastic bottles and wooden steps in our obstacle course, he is used to large Kabota tractor that on the ranch, we have trails with bridges and he has no problem going over them. He has no problem walking up/down steep ditches and ravines, he will go anywhere you point him, through thick brush, in the woods with no spook. Butter will ride the same way whenever you ride him once a week, once a month, or once a year and you do not even need to warm him up. He will ride sigle, double, bareback or saddled.
Butterscotch stands great while being saddled/bridled, groomed, being sprayed for flies, picking his feet, and standing still for being clipped, and mounted (from the ground or a mounting block), while standing tied/cross tied, and for the vet/farrier. He loads well and hauls very well. He is like a BIG St. Benard puppy, he wants to be loved on, and he will follow you all day long. He is easy to catch, is super gentle, and has great ground manners. He is kid and dog friendly and gets along with all of our other horses.
He would be a great prospect for many things such as; trail riding, pack horse, pony club, trail riding competitions, playdays, drill team, barrels, poles, grand entry, parades, ranch sorting, team penning, pleasure/family horse, walk-trot, lead line, queen's contest, or as a lesson horse. He is one of the favorite horses at our barn right now, any level of rider can enjoy him.
Butterscotch is a good looking golden palomino gelding with a long thick mane and tail that almost touches the ground, a cute face, a kind eye, a strong THICK neck, nice withers, a straight back, wide chest, and BIG butt. He is a great size with a big bone and able to carry the larger/stouter rider.
Butterscotch is another calm, forgiving horse that will build confidence in his rider. He has a good mind, learns quickly, and has a great disposition. He is smart enough to learn any type of job. He will fit the novice or the pro. DON'T MISS OUT on this sweet FLASHY boy!!!! If you want a beautiful stout gentle gelding that is well broke and smooth Butterscotch will be your forever horse. Come ride and check him out. He sells sound, safe, and sane with no stable vices. Please no outside trades, deposits, or payment plans. First come, first serve.
