One of Val's standout qualities is his consistency under saddle. He can go weeks without being ridden and still remains reliable and responsive each time he is brought out. This attribute makes him a low-maintenance horse suitable for someone with a busy schedule or irregular riding patterns. Val would make a rewarding project for an intermediate rider or advanced beginner under the guidance of a trainer.

Currently, Val is seeking a new home where he can continue to excel in a less demanding role. His current owner is transitioning to something smaller and more kid-safe, prompting this opportunity to find Val his perfect match.

If you're looking for a versatile horse with potential and personality, Val could be your ideal partner. Schedule a visit to meet Val and see firsthand how he could fit into your equestrian goals.

Val is regularly seen by a veterinarian and is UTD on vaccines. He was involved in a pasture accident a couple years ago and fractured his nasal bone. Val has been cleared by a veterinarian and this causes him no issues.

Price: Mid-High 4 figures.
