Gelding for Sale in Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Wanted Southern California area 15/16 hands mellow minded good for kids.mare or gelding. Our therapy program needs another kiddo friendly equine. No stallions or Arabs. Some riders are disabled adults so we can have riders weights near 200lb. We have a Percheron cross who would take the heavier riders but he is 27 joints hurting so we are retiring him. I would love something 8-14 years old. We work English arena flat work. Most riders for now are lead line but we do have riders starting to trot. We are a non profit and the founder will not buy a horse ours are all donated. We do give generous tax credits. Our trailer is not able to transport so if possible we would be willing to pay a delivery fee or we can arrange for someone to pick up the horse. It would be cool to have a rideable horse that can also drive so if we have a rider too heavy to be on a saddle we can take the kiddo around in a cart.

About Rancho Cucamonga, CA
By 1200 AD, Kukamongan Native Americans had established a village settlement in the area around present-day Red Hill, near the city's western border. Kukamonga derives its name from a Native American word meaning "sandy place." Anthropologists have determined that this cluster of settlers likely belonged to the Tongva people or Kich people, at one time one of the largest concentrations of Native American peoples on the North American continent. In the 18th century, following an expedition led by Gaspar de Portola, the land was incorporated into the Mission System established by Father Junipero Serra and his group of soldiers and Franciscan friars. After a half century of political jockeying in the region, the land finally came under the control of Juan Bautista Alvarado, governor of Mexico. On March 3, 1839, Alvarado granted 13,000 acres of land in the area called " Cucamonga" to Tubercio Tapia, a first-generation Spanish native of Los Angeles, successful merchant, and notorious smuggler.
