Additional Comments

If you are looking for a shorter stocky draft cross who is SAFE, fun, & versatile, then check out this boy of ours.

Casper is a 13y/o gray Percheron X gelding who stands at a VERY stocky, almost 15.1hh. He is about as wide as he is tall, which allows him to carry larger riders & takes up some leg. Casper is currently barefoot with great feet, UTD on trim, wormer, coggins, vaccines, dental float, & vet check, & is broke to ride & drive.... (read more) He is broke to drive both single & double. He has driven more double than single lately & has done some rides in a town setting. When hooked single, he does really well & responds to what you ask of him but does have a little pep. We could absolutely see him giving commercial carriage rides single with just a few more practice runs! Casper has great manners & does what every well-behaved horse should do, such as stands to mount, bathe, bridle, tack, harness, lift his feet, loads, etc.. He has a goofy & inquisitive personality that we all adore. There's really nothing we've tried that he has refused to do or put up with. He will carry a flag, pony another horse, walks through smoke, is fine with balloons & bags in his face, dogs on his heels, & more! He even took the girls sled riding! They can crawl all over & under him & he isn't bothered by it. Casper is great out on trails as he goes where he's pointed & doesn't complain. He hauls off property, confident & ready to ride for hours. He will blaze a trail in the woods or walk right into town, strutting his stuff next to traffic. Under saddle, he will wtc & is a good mix of whoa & go. He is athletic & moves easily when asked, so due to that reason only, we'd recommend a confident beginner & up. He isn't too forward, hot, or uncontrollable whatsoever. He would be fine for the husband, guests, beginners, etc.. as long as they know how to steer, whoa, & that kick means go. He has no buck, rear, or bolt. While he isn't fancy broke just yet, he does move around the ring nicely & is happy to go over a jump. We could see him fox hunting, doing lessons, carriage rides, cart classes, trail obstacles, ranch work, & more! He has the smarts, try, & work ethic that would allow him to succeed in other disciplines. Casper is so dang tolerant of everything & forgives mistakes. He would suit just about anyone looking for a sound, safe, smart, sweet, & versatile horse. Bonus that he's gorgeous & gets you noticed!
