Gorgeous Haflinger gelding for consideration. CJ is 11 years old, 13.2 hands tall. I’m in no rush to sell, I’m just not the best fit for him.

His perfect new home would be driving and trail riding in a group and at higher elevations with snow during the winter. He’s extremely sure footed in the hills and off the trail, goes through brush, stays calm around atv, living up to his name.

He’s got great confirmation, won his halter class at our county fair against very well bred Welsh ponies, also did very well in trail classes.... (read more)

He is more on the calm side and just not into arena work. He is a wonderful little horse with a colorful personality and does great on trail rides and also has great potential for cart driving or even logging. Very docile on the ground.

I’d love for him to have his very own person, a better match, who loves him, not just for his looks, but for the horse he is and who can develop his full potential.

He’s not fancy trained, but I have ridden him English as well as on a long rein out on the trail. He likes to be with his herd, I have ridden him out on the trail by himself as well though. He’s got more woah than go, is very sensitive to the riders energy. He loves a good gallop up the hill and is easy to slow back down.

I have only long reined him once and have no experience in driving myself but he seemed to really enjoy it and did very well. I was easily able to handle and turn him in walk and trot. We have pulled some logs with him and he did great with that.

As a typical Haflinger he does better with a confident rider, not on green pasture, loves the snow. He lives on a track system with his herd here. He’s very very low maintenance, does great on all he can eat low sugar hay.

He has no health issues. Will be up to date on maintenance.
