Buzz is 9 years old, so he’s in his prime! Approximately 14.3 hands tall. Short backed and thick. Nice smooth jog if you know how to ask for it. Low man in the field but will defend himself. Picks up all 4 feet with ease, ties, loads and unloads, good for farrier. Has a pretty decent handle on him but could use some fine tuning. Great trail horse. Will get videos of that this weekend or next. Has been used in the pasture to rope and push cattle.... (read more) He is a seasoned barrel and pole horse BUT he needs work or - in my opinion - time off from the arena as he seems burnt out on it.
He is not for a beginner outside of a pen but he is absolutely NOT dangerous - could be used for intermediate lessons. He will w/t/l and needs a little push to get that lope but there is ZERO attitude to this guy. He is a baby. If he thinks he is in trouble then he will get upset because he has been hammered on really good in the past but there is ZERO buck to this guy. If you get super bad heavy into his mouth and pick an argument with him about it then he might pop up but it’s nothing dangerous or out of control and he’s never done it with me. But I don’t pick arguments with my horses - I ask and “hold the ask” until they comply, and I’ve had no problems with him that were not very quickly and easily able to be remedied.

***So I recommend he have a rider that is firm in not letting him have his way but soft-handed.*** That would be his ideal match. ***

He’s a really sweet guy that’s just been handled rough but I’ve had kids all around him on the ground. He’s a really great guy and turns to a marshmallow quick when he realizes you’re gonna be gentle with him.

I have not personally roped off of him yet but plan to get videos of that this weekend as well. I will not be getting any videos of him on the pattern but I’m happy to meet at an arena so you can see what he’s like and try him out yourself. He’s a super cool and nice guy!!

Only real negative things I can say so far is that he will paw when tied and left alone - in and out of a trailer - and he can take a few minutes to catch sometimes.

Oh! And he will follow or lead but he prefers to follow.
