Denver is a 12 year old, 16.3 hand Quarter Horse gelding.
His dad is Uwishuwerehotlikeme! Denver has been used as a lesson and lease horse for the past 3 years. He is an extremely well trained horse. He is obedient and responsive. All gates are rhythmic, stable and balanced. Although most programs can not afford a horse of this caliber as a lesson horse, he is literally perfect for a lesson horse due to the wide range of riders who can use him ranging from beginner to advanced and child to adult.... (read more) He is safe enough for beginners but self propelled and fun for experienced riders. He is a go to horse for teaching trot, canter and jumping. He jumps 2'6" courses with us. It is possible he could do more but I don't like the lesson horses to jump higher as it typically gets them more excitable and I like the lesson horses to just stay steady and calm. Denver is the perfect horse for a child wanting one horse that can take them from beginner rider to 2'6" jumping competition or the quarter horse circuit. There are not many horses out there that can do that but Denver definitely can. Denver has an extensive show record at local hunter jumper shows but also on the sanctioned Quarter horse circuit. He has a history of showing on the quarter horse circuit. I am not of that world so I am passing information that I was told without much actual knowledge as to meaning: Denver was a finalist in the two year old Hunter under Saddle Division at the American Quarter Horse Congress. He has 25-30 points. I included some pictures from that time so you can see what he was doing. Denver is completely healthy and sound with no medical concerns. He gets along with pasture mates with no aggressive tendencies. He does not have any destructive pasture or stall behaviors. Denver is perfect for vet and farrier, leads with multiple horses nicely for barn staff, does not get pushy at the gate, is not herd bound and does not present with any sensitivity, ear pinning or poor attitude while grooming. He is very playful and inquisitive.
Update: We are reclaiming our stable as our private facility and only doing very minimal lessons. This is your opportunity to try several horses in one spot and to have the opportunity to buy horses that would not normally be for sale. These are the horses that I searched across the country to find and now they are all in one place for your choosing. The types of horses available include:
1. Kid/Beginner safe horses that are rock solid, balanced at walk, trot, canter and some that also jump.
2. The impossible to find lesson horses.
3. Performance horses for jumping ranging from green to competing.
4. All horses have experience with a variety of riders, indoor arena, outdoor arena and trail riding.
