Up for consideration - Woody - A 19 year old, chestnut gelding, Tennessee Walker. Don't let his age fool you! This boy has loads of energy, stamina, and "go" in him. Available for showings immediately.

This has been my trail partner for the last 4 years and he is ready for his next home and riding buddy! He is loyal, brave, and an honest ride. Not only is he a great trail horse, but he is also fun to school in the arena and even cut cows.... (read more) He walks, trots, canters and will gallop if you ask him. He has all 3 buttons well developed (forequarters, ribs, hindquarters), can side pass, back up, rollback, collect at the head and neck for the walk/trot, cross obstacles, carry flags, bend around your leg, open gates, or just walk in a straight line down a long dirt road.

He's an easy keeper, barefoot and trimmed every 6 weeks. Stands quietly for bathing, braiding, saddling, mounting, dismounting, clipping, and children. Been in our lesson program for beginners and earned $11,050 for the barn in 2 years. Easy to trailer and will go out alone or in a group. Low man on the totem pole and minds his own business in the herd. Has never offered to bolt, buck, kick, strike, or bite. Stands straight or crosstied.

His vices include dragon breathing for the vet and farrier but he's all talk - once they get started, he's quick to relax. Can be hard to catch in the pasture at first but once he knows the routine and trusts you, he's all yours. Allergic to peppermint and Florida flies around his eyes but nothing a fly mask won't fix.

He's UTD on all vaccines, annual teeth floating and can easily pass a PPE. Has never colliced in my care. Has had ulcers in the past but not while in my care.

PPE welcome at buyers expense.

Purchase comes with a crash course lesson on what he knows, a negative coggins test for travel and his vaccine certificate. Will also body clip for purchaser at request.

Located in Apopka, FL.
