Additional Comments

Dax (Goldys Windsor) is a 13-year-old AQHA registered sorrel gelding, standing at 14.2 hands. He spent the first years on a ranch, developing a solid foundation in various tasks. For the past three years, he has been working as a casual western riding horse in both indoor and outdoor arenas and has been recently learning Liberty. He is very adaptable and learns quickly. He moves off the leg well and has outstanding ground manners, showing respect for personal space and stands well for the farrier and equine dentist.... (read more) He has been consistently arena ridden 3 to 4 times weekly over the last three years and returns to work smoothly after breaks. Limited trail experience to nearby fields. Dax has a reliable temperament and very friendly. He is forward-moving with a natural inclination for 'more go than whoa' and is remarkably soft in the mouth. He has never offered to buck. However, he can be easily distracted and likes the company of the herd and thus needs a confident rider who can help him build confidence in such situations. Health-wise, he is in excellent condition, barefoot, and up-to-date with vaccinations, worming, sheath cleaning and annual dental care. He has no known maintenance issues. He would be an ideal match for a confident, intermediate rider looking for a versatile, calm, and sociable equine partner in western dressage or working equitation. I am selling him as I am no longer able to ride due to an injury. Videos available. Based in Lethbridge, Alberta.
