Meet Nickel, a 8-year-old, 15-hand dapple grey gelding who is as sweet as he is striking. Nickel has a curious mind and is the kind of horse who loves attention and is eager to learn. When he came to us four years ago he was skinny and his feet weren't taken care of. Now he is ready to return to work and begin his training under saddle again. With patience and the right guidance, Nickel is sure to make a wonderful partner for the right person.... (read more)
Nickel is green broke, and he has been under saddle before he came to us, but will need a patient and experienced rider to continue his training and help him build confidence.
Nickel does have a club foot on his right front, but it has not held him back. His rehab has been very successful, and he is now sound, moving well, and ready for light work and further training. With proper care, including regular farrier attention, his club foot has not caused him any issues.
He is up to date on all of his vaccines, coggins, worming, dental work, and farrier work. He trailer-loads well, stands tied, loves bathes, stands for the farrier and listens well to basic ground work and pressure. He gets daily care with brushing, hoof-picking, stretching, fly-spraying, ect... He has just started on basic ground work over poles, and has had some light bareback riding in a ring and is doing very well. I'm selling him because I'm going off to college soon and won't have enough time to continue training him.
