Additional Comments

Everyone knows that the foxtrotters are famous for their gentle nature, ultra smooth gait, cow sense and sure footedness on the trails… Ice is no exception to the rule! Ice is a beautiful true blue roan gelding and he is the smoothest and most naturally gaited horse that you’ll ever have the chance to ride! We have done it all together and seen it all together! From trail riding, we have ridden out in lakes, beside interstates, though old towns, up/down steps, on sidewalks and so on … Ice has come to seem like family but it’s time to let him move on to his forever home!... (read more) He is 7years old and stands between 15hh and 15.1hh. He is very friendly, loves attention, easy to catch, clip, bath, tack-up, load, and handle in anyway. Ice will flatfoot walk on a loose rein but will move on out when asked and he is safe for most any rider! He has a natural foxtrotting gait where he will shake his head, he will move on out at 10-12mph but will walk as long as you like on a loose rein. He will rein around some, has a rocking chaircanter/short lope that most horses only dream of and he will slide stop and back. He has been ridden around farm equipment, ATV’s, over large noisy tarps, bullwhips and a large bouncy ball. Ice is not spooky acting and always rides with confidence. On the trails he is always great and has never saw a hill too steep or water too deep as I have had him swimming as well! Ice has been exposed to all kinds of wildlife such as deer or turkey or other animals like cows or dogs and will go anywhere that he is asked too. Ice will go anywhere you point him… across deep creeks, over downed trees, and over all types of rough terrain while still being sure footed. He has been rode in traffic, and is very traffic safe around cars, semi, log, and dump trucks.
