Casper a ~10 year old 15.3hh gelding, has been trail
riding. He will need shoes to go on any hard
surfaces. Casper had foundered last spring and has recovered very
well. He is sole sensitive, but no other problems have developed. He
was used for lessons, but seemed to get bored going in circles. Out
on the trails he is virtually spook proof, but likes to play a
little in open fields. Before Casper arrived at LCR he was a fox
hunter and ridden English. Before he came to the East coast he had
lived in Montana as a Western ranch horse. He is broke very well in
both English and Western, but is a little rusty on his Western
commands. Casper has had most of the winter to rest and recuperate.
He has the "springtime spunk" and would need someone with
a little experience and confidence. He has a great personality and
loves people. He will not kick, bite or in any way harm anyone,
although he likes to grab at your close and will steal your hat. He
is boss in his field, but is not pushy and his leadership can be
easily challenged. He has been worked with in the round pen and
Natural Horsemanship. Casper is ready to go to the right family.
Casper is having some problems staying sound in his left front
pastern area. Some corrective shoeing should help. We will keep you
posted.
