Taxi is truly one of a kind! Gentle, Sweet, Friendly, and Patient. BEAUTIFUL with a big HEART and willing to do whatever you ask of him. We bought him directly from the breeder and have put him through all aspects of our training program. He is double registered with TWHBEA and SSHBEA and a gorgeous Bay Tobiano with world champion bloodlines on his papers. Standing 14’3, he’s good-boned and stout, built to carry any size rider all day. He’s been hauled and ridden all over the mountains of Montana to the forests of the Midwest. Taxi is experienced with long days on the trail, with all kinds of wildlife. He’s been through all types of terrain, from prairies to mountains and arenas. Taxi is also seasoned with gunshots, dogs running around, loud noises, machinery and traffic. Taxi has a solid foundation of groundwork and arena riding. He will flex, move off leg pressure, pick up his shoulders, and is very light and responsive. Taxi is very SOFT with a lot of feels while riding or doing groundwork. He rides in everything from a D-ring snaffle to a curb bit, halter, and neck rope, and even guides by lightly asking with your fingertips on his neck. He walks quietly, gaits, and steps right up into a balanced lope, all on a loose, flowy rein. Responsive to light leg or hand cues and will stop and back just using your seat and legs. We’ve had a lot of fun riding him BAREBACK and BRIDLELESS. Taxi stands perfectly to mount and moves over to stump, tailgate, or anything you find to make it easy to get on. He has a great neck rein, side passes, stops, and backs, and is always very controllable. His gait is SO SMOOTH and comfortable that you will never want to stop. He has excellent transitions between gaits and will go whatever speed you ask, from a slow walk to an easy-going, enjoyable gait, and step right up into a collected lope. Taxi is a SOLID trail horse. He doesn’t get in a hurry and goes up, down, over, and through whatever you point him at. He is like a 4-wheeler on steep hills, with no rush in rough areas, and knows how to pick his way through big rocks and over downed trees. He is definitely SUREFOOTED. Always CONFIDENT and self-assured when others come and go. We’ve swung a rope off him, drug logs, and barrels, and used him to pony other horses and mules. He is good with dogs, water, guns, bridges, machinery, traffic, tarps, flags, wildlife, umbrellas, bullwhips, and much more. Taxi gets along with others in the pasture and is always easy to catch. He is perfect to saddle, bridle, and stands patiently for the farrier. He loads and hauls great. He’s excellent at washing and will stand quietly tied all day if you need to. Truly a PLEASURE to be around. Taxi is a special and fun horse. We are thankful to have had him in our program so that everyone in our family could ride and enjoy him. He’s willing, smart, gentle, well-trained, confident, and controllable. Taxi is a horse for the whole family to enjoy a lifetime of Happy Trails.
